http://www.durgan.org/URL/?ZDEZV 12 August 2009 Harvesting Hard Neck Snake Garlic. Due to being away the harvest is about a month late. Late harvest means the bulb splits the clovers away from the normal protective sheath. Only a few bulbs indicate this condition. These will be used first, and the others dried for about ten days for Winter storage. The weight was 31 pounds for 92 bulbs. Average weight, dug, is about 0.33 pounds per bulb. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?GarlicS Garlic Summary 2009
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?KAJVY 18 August 2009 Hard Neck Snake Garlic (Allium sativum) Curing The dried weight is about 26 pounds from first dug of 31 pounds. Ten pound are in excellent condition and will probably store well for about a year. Twelve pounds had split bulbs, due to late harvesting, and will store poorly, so will be used first. About four pound or 14 of the largest bulbs were selected for seeding in October 2009. The bulbs will be further dried in their storage containers, which is usually a paper bag. Two to three bulbs for about a pound. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?GarlicS Garlic Summary 2009
