Plants set for Winter 121623
Sunny February and not a cold winter but sure had a lot of rain!
Super Hot late June and July-I negelected to water the mini plants so they were victims.
The others seemed to not care about heat or water.
Harvested in August as below based on the leaf color. I think I still waited too long-next year!
I will use our own cloves for next years crop so to carry on the legacy.

Checked out the number of dead leaves and picked one on July 8th

Harvested this one on July 5th
Trying to decide when to do it.
It has been 2 weeks since the Scapes were cut and I have read
where the harvest should occur about 2 weeks after cutting the scapes.
I waited longer as there was a lot of grenn on the stems.

Once again all 10 Bulbs were purchased from Stantons in New Scotland-may as well stick with a winner!

Note-the patch on top contains the garlic 'seeds' that will be there for a coule of years...saving the portion to the left for another planting

Note-Garlic will not survive in flower boxes-
I tried in the Fall and Spring.
Onions thrived in the same flower box containers-and I will use/expand next year.

All of the plants were completely brown so I gathered them and here are the results-surprising as
in previous years they were harvested when half green and not as early as this year. I harvested about 45 or
more plants and they are all hanging in the basement and more than half are grocery store sized bulbs
,
I did save some scape baby cloves and will plant them in a separate
location as they are supposed to take an extra year to grow into full sized bulbs.
These cloves are about the size of popcorn kernels.

Harvested the 1st Garlic as more than half of the leaves were brown.
These Stanton Farms cloves were planted November 7 2022
