A. You harvest garlic when the tops dry down about
halfway. No further than this or the paper on the outside of the bulb will
disintegrate exposing the cloves.
You dry
them the same way as onions basically. Put them in the shade in open air. Do
not wash them first.
There
are two types of garlic; hardneck and softneck. The softneck you can braid
together. The hardneck you cannot. Sounds like you have hardneck.
The tops of these Polish White garlics are just starting to brown. Wait until the tops brown down to about 1/3 of its length. No more. |
When
tops die back, after a week or two, cut the tops back further for storage or
future use. I like them the most when they are still fresh from the garden. I
think that is when they have the best flavor in my opinion.
