Just finished my garlic harvest! The photo shows about 1/2 of it hanging to dry. You can find my drying shed blind folded...just have to follow your nose!
Used a Super A pulling a old (Oliver maybe)potato digger to get it out of the ground.

My wife, being Korean, has been looking for a boatload of fresh garlic before it's been dried. They eat the green stems as well and the stuff in the market isn't quite up to snuff for pickeling. I tried a few growers in Gilroy, but we don't care much for the strain they tend to plant out there. Last fall we put in a patch and it's almost ready. It's kind of a tough crop for Central Minnesota.

Just looking at the picture springs me back to Gilroy Ca. My nose could even smell it from looking. Suprising that it actually smells good for a long while. It does not get to be too much. Great photo, nice crop. JimN

How is it growing them? Is it like onions? Will they grow in the Deep South?

I LOVE garlic and would love some in the local garden.

Your garlic and the drying shed fascinates me. I do a lot of truck farming in NC and have grown a lot of onions. I do not know of anyone in this area who has done garlic. Where are you and what kinds of soils are necessary to grow the garlic.

I do good with the onions, I plant them in raised beds. These garlic bulbs seem to be as big as y or hand. Do you sell them commercially, how does this work?

Hi...Glad you guys liked the garlic photo. I grow about 1,500 lb for sale and it sells pretty well. It's a hardneck garlic which does better in the North (I'm in western NY). Softneck garlic is what i hear grows better in the South, but I don't have much experience with it myself. Hanging it to dry is the only way I know to do it...not sure what the "big guys" do or use, but somehow you need to get it dried or it won't keep.
