Harvested the last of the Elephant Garlic from the greenhouse
the smaller bulbs will be for us to eat
the larger cloves will be kept for seed
Harvest garlic when the leaves have begun to turn yellow
use a shovel and dig out the garlic
spray off the dirt with a strong stream of water
bundle the long stems and hang to dry.
Let cure for a couple of weeks and then trim off tops
store in a dark , dry pantry or closet
replant large cloves of garlic in the fall
plant with the root side down
Elephant garlic will not survive in my cold winters so I plant it in the greenhouse
If you plant outdoors place 4 inches of compost or straw over top
garlic likes a loose, loam soil
new spring growth in the greenhouse
