Yay PH, great harvest timing! And short work for such a big crop.
I'm like FD scrambling for space to cure them indoors, which makes that part of it more of a hassle. Of course I also like to fuss over stuff so with the curing in the house I can't stop myself poking and looking at them as well. Barn envy.
But it's no surprise garlic is a favorite crop. Planting in fall and then just watching it come is pretty awesome, while we scramble to get other things done in the spring. With the right mulch the weeding is no big deal or zero in your case! And then the harvest is easy.. nice reward for the effort.
