Garlic Harvest

I harvested my garlic yesterday and am pretty pleased with the yield and the size of the plants. I plant the bulbs in the fall and then follow the recommendation that I have heard to harvest them after the solstice.

For this years plants, I bought my bulbs from Johnny's Selected Seeds and am very pleased with the results. The previous year, I bought from a different source and the bulbs were tiny and spindly. My bulbs are drying out now, so that I can use them through the fall.
