How did your garden grow in 2011?

I take it that you just harvested your garlic, I have just done the same as here it grows through winter and spring. How is it that you grow yours in summer/autumn? it is late fall here. soon it will be snow and ice season. this is a moderate heat hardneck garlic i lifted mid-summer, well past prime curing and storage time. it has sat around in a box in the closet gradually being used up, but because it is not good storage quality it will not last through the winter. so i'm peeling it and going to be doing something with it (including eating it as i'm peeling ). leaving it in the ground longer changed storage length, but the peeling is easier (the skins split when dry, cured and aged). i had a few heads of garlic set aside that i'd pulled earlier (at the right time) and the comparison is pretty interesting. songbird |
