| Garlic pulled out of the ground |
Yesterday was the 1st time, I harvest garlic! I
was so excited. One more thing, I’m adding to my house for my family to eat organically
and natural, which is my goal for my garden. I spend time researching how to
harvest and store garlic (you can read it at Gardening- Helpful Video on Garlic ), so I was ready to harvest it.

| it is bent over |
I planted the soft neck garlic on April 15th,
2013. You can read about it at Gardening ~ Planting Garlic and there is helpful video and information about
garlic there too. Throughout my research, I read that you can harvest the soft
neck garlic when it bends over. I got to work.

| Pulled up little bulb |
I took a shovel and dug around the garlic area. I was very careful
with the first two. Once I got a hang of it though, I was moving along. My
garlic bulbs were little. I’m not sure if it was because I harvest early or that
I planted in the spring. It normal gets planted in the fall. I did leave half
in the ground and will try again in two weeks. I’m also hoping to be able to
try to plant in the fall and see the difference.

| Drying out |
After harvesting I put them outside to start to dry out.
Today, I have to bring them in and leave them on the counter, because rain is
in the forecast until Thursday. I don’t want them to get wet. Have you planted
garlic? If so did you plat in fall or spring? If you planted in spring did you
see a difference in size?
