Harvesting Garlic Arno in August<\/p><\/div>\n

Back in\u00a0October\u00a0last year I wrote a post on how to plant garlic<\/a>. Today I harvested the bulbs.<\/p>\n

They have a long growing season but once planted and all you have to do to care for them is keep the bed weeded – that’s it! They’re hardy (remember last winter) and survived our fluctuating temperatures and rain throughout the spring and summer without bolting.<\/p>\n

I’m delighted with the results, loving the big bulbs and looking forward to eating home-grown tasty garlic over the coming months.<\/p>\n

Having dug them up, the plants are now on a rack drying out thoroughly before I plait and store them. \u00a0In the meantime, we’ll be cooking some of the bulbs as we need them and keeping a few aside to split and plant this autumn.<\/p>\n

Does anybody else grow garlic and do you have any favourite varieties?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
