Title: Harvest garlic?
Post by: barkingdog on June 17, 2007, 08:46:13
Hi All,

Is it time to harvest garlic yet? Mine are still quite green and do not have many yellow leaves.

Also as this is my first year at growing elephant garlic - when do i lift these and do I dry them as per normal garlic?

Cheers!

Lift them just as you would normal garlic, when about 10% of them have fallen over. last year mine were ready about mid-July.

As you can see (Tesco's) I have just started to lift mine. In this case Rose.
