This years garlic.


On 8/4/08, I harvested our garlic. I planted 54 cloves and harvested 53 heads. I planted this years garlic on 9/3/07. When it starts to get cold, I put leaves in the garlic bed, that measures 15'x4'. The garlic overwinters in the bed and in the spring, I take off the leaves.
The garlic grew fast. When the tops start to turn brown, it's time to harvest the garlic.
This year I will be planting 90 cloves of garlic.
Maybe it's time to go into business.
