Default garlic harvest

i planted them on columbus day it was cold about 42-44 degrees.

i harvested them last night it was hot upper 80's with humidity, i could have rang out my clothes in 10 minutes and it was not very hard work.



i really did great, i'm quite impressed.

an unknown hardneck about 2" in diameter (about 20 bulbs), georgian crystal seem to have rather smallish bulbs (about 16 bulbs) about 1.5-1.75", german white just a little bigger maybe 1.75- 2" (about 40 bulbs) but the music are good sized bulbs (about 85-90 bulbs) about 2-3".


i'm seriously considering not planting potatoes next year (waiting to see the harvest but it's never that good) and using that 100-120 sq ft for garlic in addition to the 48 sq ft used this year. potatoes yield so little for the space, garlic is a much better use of that space plus i eat a lot of garlic.
