Garlic

Garlic is planted in fall and harvested the next summer. Separate the bulbs into cloves and set them pointed end up about 2 in. deep and 6 in. apart, a few weeks before the ground freezes. A layer of straw mulch protects them through winter. In spring, hardneck types send up curly flower stalks called scapes. Cut those off for the kitchen, and the bulbs will size up better. Pull plants when the lower third of the leaves have browned, then cure them in a dry, airy spot for a few weeks. Half of our garlic is certified organic.
