Can we talk about how you harvest garlic? It was so interesting to me that you already had the tops cut off. This is my first year growing garlic and it produced really well. I ended up pulling up the entire plants and they're currently 'curing' on a drying rack my husband build me. I'd be curious to hear your process.

@theelliotthomestead 17 күн бұрын

Ha! This is what happens when you set your young boys on the task of cutting the garlic scapes off and they end cutting the entire top off the garlic. No, this is not how I usually harvest my garlic. We will see how it does in the root cellar.
