Some of my Russian hard-neck garlic bulbs have also purple coloring on the wrappers while most are white.

Thank you Sari, I appreciate your response.

I went ahead and hung my garlic up in our shed, and left the screened windows open for air circulation.

I am not sure how long to let it cure, as I have read anywhere from three to six weeks on a few gardening sites, then I read up to a few months for best storage rate. I will let them cure for as long as possible before first frost.

I am really inspired to try to grow even more garlic after seeing your pictures on your garlic harvest.
