FYI Burt.... Q: I'm growing garlic for the fist time. How do I know when to harvest? A: The time to harvest your garlic is rapidly approaching. If you haven't already done it, cut back on watering. Heavy watering right up until harvest can result in moldy, stained garlic. Harvest when three or four green leaves remain on the stem. Dig out the bulbs, remove excess soil and dry them in a well-ventilated place out of sunlight for about a week. Then remove the remaining soil by gently rubbing it off and braid the dry stalks, or store the bulbs in a mesh bag in a warm well-ventilated location. Soft-neck garlic has milder flavor and stores for almost a year, while hard-neck is much stronger but stores for only half that long. By the way, don't wait too long to harvest. If you leave garlic in the ground until all of the leaves turn brown, the cloves often separate and dirt gets in. Jane
