HOMESTEAD HOW-TO
Garlic is ready to harvest when the bottom third of the stalks have started to turn from green to yellow or brown.
If our garlic is somewhat moist when we harvest it, we like to leave it out to dry in the sun to get the initial moisture off before moving it to its next location.
Before getting your garlic to its curing place, you have a chance to sort through it to decide which heads will be used for which purposes.
Once you have sorted your garlic and collected it into bunches, you’ll want to find a good place for it to cure.
Once the tops of your garlic are completely brown and dried out, you can prepare your garlic for long term storage.
Now it’s time to get that garlic to its fall/winter/spring storage spot.
