Took a chance that they were big enough we sometimes get an early frost before the end of August and I wanted them to get some dry down time before it gets cold. Still learning what works for Creoles next year I will give them more fertilizer.

Last weekend I was talking to another grower who said he and others he knows leave their garlic in the ground until mid-August in CT in order to let them bulb up more. If I wait to pull them, they start to separate and rot. When I check a few earlier than that, they seem too small.
