[thumb:585:l] The garlic is all harvested. A couple weeks ago some of the plants had fallen over so I had harvested those. Since the bulbs were a bit on the smaller side we went back to watering the others. But now those plants also started to fall over. I don’t know if they just got too tall or what. They look healthy, just toppled over. I hadn’t read about garlic doing that. I might have left them but the apartment complex has landscapers that ride around on a big mower. Since the plants had toppled out over the lawn I didn’t want them mowed up. <\/p>\n
I noticed digging them up — gently! — that the thicker stalks have bigger bulbs. I guess it makes sense but it’ll help us judge in the future about the bulb size. Eventually I think you’d develop a feel for when the plants are ready for harvest. I’ve already tried one of the bulbs fresh in a salad after the initial harvest. Very yummy. We ended up with 34 bulbs out of 36 cloves planted. It is Inchelium garlic<\/a>, from Ferry County<\/a>. I’ll save the best bulbs for replanting late Fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [thumb:585:l] The garlic is all harvested.
