Today is Bastille Day and the time of year to harvest garlic. I think we planted four varieties this year--all hardneck: Music, Chesnok Red, Chrysalis Purple, and Yugoslavian. Here is a picture of the Chesnok Red--I think. There may have been a 5th variety whose sign has disappeared. In any case I dug 48 bulbs--about 1/5 of the planting. Now to clean them off a bit and let them cure for several weeks in a cool, dry, shady place.

You go girl! Looks like a very good crop. I might have the last variety name around here somewhere. On second thought I believe there where only 5 varieties planted. Viva La Garlic Revolution! -Melissa
