Too clean, I don't like it!

Mine are still hanging from early July, with 50-odd spring planted bulbs added mid July. That late March planting didn't turn out too badly...it was only a very small 2x2 or so plot, deep forked, raised compost hill, leftover small cloves, planted with 3-4" spacing just to fill a hole. I got back maybe 25 1.5"-2", and the rest bigger than an inch. Some of the cloves I put in were really quite small because I FOUND bulbs from the seed stock on the ground there in May while weeding. Doh, I THOUGHT I had bigger ones along that day!

Garlic is pretty neat, and I'm loving having a nice supply for canning.
