Harvesting Garlic
As garlic reaches maturity, the leaves will soon begin to brown and die away. This is telling you that it is time to harvest your crop of garlic. If you harvest the garlic too early the cloves will be very small, harvest too late and the bulb will have split.
Proper handling of garlic after it’s been picked is almost as important as looking after it whilst it’s growing. It’s really is essential that garlic is dried properly, otherwise it will rot. The bulbs are often hung up in a cool, dry place. After a week or so, take them down and brush the dirt off gently - don’t wash the bulbs at this stage.
Then enjoy the delicious results of growing your own garlic in your own garden.
