garlic

I harvested garlics and they were drying outside on mesh seat of a chair for a week plus few days. It doesn't look like a lot, and most of the bulbs are small, but when I compare in my head to how many bulbs I started with, this is satisfying. This is just a few of 'em:
Some broke apart when I was rubbing off the dirt after curing, these I'll use first.
The hardnecks were easier to hang- the softneck garlics their "necks" tended to crumble and break off. But the softnecks had nicer, plumper bulbs that cleaned off easier (papery outside rubbed away clean). So I'm in favor of growing more softnecks the coming year.
