Today, our garlic was pulled up out of the ground, where it's been biding its time since last October. Such an amazing sight! It's almost hard to believe that the tiny cloves I planted last year have matured into such large heads of garlic. Although there's a range of sizes, several are really huge, and I'm very pleased with the harvest!
The act of pulling, washing, and (crudely) braiding the garlic heads was time-consuming, but well-worth the effort. All of them are now hanging by the rafters in the humidity-controlled basement, where they will dry for the next 3 - 4 weeks. Then, the show really begins! I cannot wait to try out these lovely varieties of garlic in my kitchen.
