...Removed and now re-written, I'm awake now!! <br /><br />Love my garlic crop. I plant around 250 bulbs every year. This gives me enough to have a fresh crop all year as well as enough to dry (I made a solar dryer) with 250 bulbs left over for planting the following year. I throw the fresh stuff, broken up into cloves with the skin still on, directly into the freezer in a large ziplock bag. I use to peel and crush it into ice cube trays until I discovered that it worked without all the extra labour. Just LOVE my garlic.FionaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044498829299165675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-7672231891950892002016-10-24T16:16:05.986-05:002016-10-24T16:16:05.986-05:00i always plant garlic but for some reason, my head...i always plant garlic but for some reason, my heads were small this year. i think it's because we got so little rain.jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-66999965510553469062016-10-24T16:00:23.791-05:002016-10-24T16:00:23.791-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.FionaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044498829299165675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-92096935530730528982016-10-24T14:15:18.280-05:002016-10-24T14:15:18.280-05:00Garlic was one of the first crops I grew successfu...Garlic was one of the first crops I grew successfully way back when and it's so much fun!
