27 July 2019 Garlic Posted on July 27, 2019 by Durgan 27July 2019 Garlic 27 July 2019 Garlic All hard neck garlic from bulbils. Something new this year. The garlic bulbs are left in the ground until the bulbils are fully mature. I have found the bulbs break open if allowed to mature meaning the enclosing skin is broken. The bulbs keep well and the cloves get larger than harvesting sooner. I don’t utilize the scapes for eating.
