Any thoughts on the taste of fresh garlic vs garlic that has fully cured? We find it easier to remove the clove skins on freshly harvested garlic, but I'm not sure we'd want to do that for the whole crop.

I've only eaten garlic fresh when it's immature so I don't really know to be honest. I'll definitely need to give this a go .

@@seedlingsuccessuk Thanks for the reply. We just harvested, and have been eating the smaller or damaged bulbs. Frankly, I can't tell any difference in taste between these and the garlic that has been dried and cured, but I'm not the culinary expert. Another question. My wife wants to only plant cloves from bulbs with 6 cloves, since that's the ideal count for the Korean Red that we grow. Does it really matter? We have some large bulbs with fat cloves @ 7 or 8 per bulb. I would like to use them for planting. BTW, 'large' for this variety is a bulb 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

@groussac I can't say I've ever grown that variety. Maybe an experiment would be a good idea? Usually the larger bulbs and then the largest cloves are selected for replanting.
