This is garlic. It was planted about the first of September, from cloves dug the same day. I had not harvested it on time and all the wrapper leaves were gone. I was told that this early planting, rather than waiting til the end of October, as most growers do, would give me better bulbs. Last year was my first year of growing garlic. I decided to just plant it all, rather than harvesting any for the kitchen, so I can increase the size of my patch. Only hardneck varieties will grow well in my northern climate.
