I harvested my garlic.

I planted these 4" apart mixed a 50 lb bag of composted manure in the soil and planted them in Oct. When spring rain stopped and soil was dry as desert in 90 degree weather I harvested them early I need the space to plant more beans. 61 garlics most are nice size garlic. I had no fertilizer finally about first of April I put some triple 15 on them. I bought some nitrogen last week too late for garlic. I did not measure them the largest ones are about 2" diameter.

Maybe this is in the wrong place, maybe I should have posted this in garden photos.

I just took all of mine out last week and had about 50 heads that are anywhere between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches across. They are still drying on my rack under my back porch and almost ready for storage. Love growing my own garlic.

picking a lot of scapes these days, but actually pulling garlic is a little ways off yet.

Beautiful garlic. Mine is getting close... 1-2 weeks probably.

I made good use of an empty Grapefruit bag to store and dry my 61 fresh garden garlics. Alice has already used several cloves of garlic in, pizza sauce, garlic bread, fried pork chops, Mexican scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Great looking garlic. Mine were very small, but I probably have too much nitrogen in the soil.

Mine are done too! Best harvest yet. I think because we had a generally mild winter and I actually grew them with peas in compost, which supplied plenty of nitrogen to them.
