Home Garlic Harvest


Taking advantage of the nice day at the right time for a change I harvested all of my garlic form my home garden.  I dug them up variety by variety and placed them in separate bushels with a tag in each bushel.  After all of the garlic was dug I separated them into 2 or 3 bundles.  One bundle of each variety was my garlic to keep for seed and thus my biggest and best.  And the other bundles were the garlic I plan on selling.  By separating them now, when I only need to clean some I can let the seed garlic continue to dry.  They are all hung up in the rafters of the blacksmith shop and will be for the next 3-6 weeks.  Also as I bundled them up I wrote notes on the condition of the plants at harvest as well as the qty harvested.
