#garlic #harvest #vegetablegardening Will upload full video soon! Thanks for watching! Here are some tips for drying/curing garlic. 1. Wait till the bottom 3 leaves are tan or yellow. 2. Lift the bulb with a shovel or garden fork or carefully pull if soil is loose. 3. Do not wash or rinse the bulbs, this can lead to rot/mold. 4. They should be dried or cured for 2-3 weeks for long-term storage. Find a dry area with good ventilation. Place bulbs on a single layer on a drying rack, wooden table, or cardboard. You can hang the bulbs as well. Keep them away from sunlight, as it can alter the beneficial constituents. 5. After curing, gently remove dirt and outer layer of papery skin if dirty. Trim roots to 1/4 to 1/2” and stalks about to 1/2 to 1 inch above the bulbs. 6. Cured garlic can last between 4 to 9 months, sometimes up to 12 months. Soft neck garlic generally store longer than hard neck types. Happy Gardening!🧄🧄🧄 .
