Hi All,

Exciting. Well Exciting for me!

I dug up my first three garlic bulbs from last year's
planting. Got them tied up and hanging in the garage.
They have pretty red wrappers too! And they didn't seem
too mad at me for planting them up-side-down (didn't
know any better at the time).

Questions:

1) how long do I need to leaving them hanging? (I
presume I am drying them out.)

2) how would a save a few cloves for planting
in the fall? (I am afraid they will rot on me
if I leave them out.)

Many thanks,

1. A couple of weeks ought to do it.

2. I have stored them as full bulbs for a couple of years and planted
them successfully. Keep them dry in between.

Do I need to keep them in shadows or in full dark?

Just don't blast them with full sun. Indoors is just fine.
