Garlic Harvest
>> Friday, December 18, 2009
At first I thought the garlic plants were dying from a lack of watering. It did occur to me that it might be time to harvest but just thought it was a bit too soon. Then I saw someone in the net mention harvesting their garlic already.
So today, tentatively I loosen the soil and pulled out a few. Some were huge and some were the size of those in the shops. So far I have only pulled out half of the garlic plants and the total came to 27 bulbs. I counted the rest still in the ground and there are still about 25.
So pleased with myself. The garlics were first planted in May and other than just having a look at them now and then, absolutely no work was involved. No watering except for pulling out some weeds once. The reward for so little effort makes garlic worthy of a space in the veg garden.

3 huge ones
A harvest of 27 bulbs so far.
I have left the other half standing as their tops hadn't turned yellow yet.
