Harvesting Garlic in New England. Crop transitioning during the growing season.

Wow this is the most informative information on garlic I have seen so far. Thanks so much for making this video. I appreciated the knowledge on the first three leaves turning brown and that its the outer layer of the garlic and that I need to take it out of the ground if I don’t want rot, etc. Such good information. Thank you!

Hi Nigel, just harvested mine yesterday here in NC for the same reasons. Glad to see you’ve left soil on; I discovered the microbiology in the soil keeps the curing Garlic from getting moldy. Only thing I do differently is trim off some of the roots. Since they exchange moisture with the air, I’ve found my Garlic cures better without the roots. It may be more humid here in NC than your area. 🙏🏼 💜🧄

Stinging Nettles and bare feet would be a no-no to me. LOL Nice video, I've always kept the garlic by itself, nice to know I can grow other things in between. I have a much larger amount growning this year because some people got bad sick garlic bulbs in the fall, so I was refunded my money, on the same day mine arrived all nice a fresh, after I had bought some more. I'll be throwing lots of seed and transplanting "weeds" there. I let some scapes go to seed after I found that the seeds would grow to garlic in two years, on their own. Plus green scapes are good eating.

Be sure to throw those seed just prior to harvesting the garlic to give the next crop a start. Garlic from seed is often very small, but makes a great cover crop.

Just starting to harvest my garlic in (old) England, UK too. We've had so many long, hot sunny days so the garlic has reached perfection. Yours looks great. I've just steamed broad beans and used the first garlic cloves with it make really fresh hummus.
