    The garlic was dug today and the curing process was started, which will take about three weeks to complete. This is hard neck garlic and I use cloves from year to year from the current harvest. There are 88 bulbs total and ten were culled due to small size and some were damaged when digging. I choose to harvest at this time, since some of the leaves were changing color to brown, and usually the beginning of July is the time to dig in my area. This bed was planted in October of 2009, heavily mulched, and not touched until this harvest. There was still some moisture present at the root level. The quality and size is typical for this type of garlic.
