Winter is coming! Just planted next summer’s garlic yesterday! 450 hard neck cloves! They set their roots now, and in the spring we see the greenery. Scapes come first, the end of June. You can eat those! But they have to be cut so the energy goes into the bulb the next month. Then July we harvest and cure them in our basement for three weeks. We save the larger bulbs for planting in the fall, and eat the rest. Then mid October …do it again!
