Wife ran out of garlic last year. It won’t happen again.

I planted two varieties this year, German Extra Hardy and Music. Both did decently well. Lost some to black rot. Expected to see leafminer larvae, but haven't found any yet. Feels good to have it all out of the ground and curing.

Last fall I planted 3 rows, 8" apart, in a 50ft x 30" bed. Heavily mulched with mushroom soil. Cultivated a handful of times (and let it go toward the end). The space will now be taken over by melons, which I planted a few weeks ago right next to the garlic bed.

    You need to share it with the rest of the class!

    Can you eat it fresh or do you have to cure/dry it?

    I thought we were supposed to wait until more of the leaves turn brown before harvesting?
