I harvested some that had about pushed itself out of the ground (or was that the mole). Anyway, I wasn't sure quite when to do the rest. I'll check on them tomorrow.

It's curing/drying as I type this. I have grown garlic for many years, but this was the first year I have grown elephant garlic too. I am definitely going to add more of that for next year. I save bulbs for the fall planting up process, but purchase occassionally to try a new variety. Yes we grow it and in fact, I pulled ours this past week as well. It’s curing/drying as I type this.

I harvested 6 plants a couple of months ago. It was incredibly easy to grow and I definitely have plans to do a more deliberate planting this year. I've looked through the choices in seed catalogs and am a bit overwhelmed! There are so many varieties to choose from. What type are you growing? Where did you get your starter cloves? I go through a heck of a lot of garlic so I'm not sure I can grow enough to keep me from having to buy it. At least until I get more beds built! It will be fun to try. Garlic and onions are two crops I need to grow lots of. One of my favorite recipes is Chicken and 40 cloves. Yummy.

I'm hoping if I hang it in the basement in braids or ropes it will last till next year's harvest. That’s exactly why I decided to grow my own.
