Garlic Harvest 2014

To dream that there is garlic in the house is lucky.”--Richard Folkard, Plant Lore, 1884

Bumper crop this year. Plenty of rain in the spring. The bulbs are big and beautiful. This year we tried some elephant garlic (which we've just learned is more like a leek than garlic), and were rewarded with huge bulbs--some larger than a softball. Gardeners should have enough garlic to last until 2015 when the first spring garlic appears.

Sorting out the bounty

Thanks, Marni, for sharing out the spoils!
