This year we decided to try out some garlic. Our beds lay empty over the winter, so why not?? The boys planted the garlic and a few shallots with their Uncle in November. This week they finally seemed ready to harvest! We got them in there and taught them how to dig up the garlic from underneath. Don’t pull them up by the necks! They did a great job. We ended up with well over 100 bulbs. I’m looking forward to the final count. Now we are going to lay them out on a screen in our garage to cure. The garlic was actually very easy and hands off to grow. After planting we weeded 3 times or so throughout the spring. I never even had to water it. (I did keep an eye on it, just in case.) We bought this garlic from Filaree Garlic Farm in Washington state.
