Default First garlic harvest

i purposely grow green garlic to use like green
onions (burying the cloves a few inches deeper than
normal) because it grows very easily here as compared
to green onions.


A commercial grower I know takes all the small cloves left over at planting
time (you know, the "tweeners" and others too small to make a good bulb
next year) and throws them at the end of a bed, to be harvested next spring
for green garlic. Good cash source at a time of the year when not much
else is feeding the till! He has a goodly Asian community nearby, which
helps.
