THE ELEPHANT GARLIC HARVEST OF 2023.......
WITH THE RAINY WEATHER NEXT WEEK DECIDED TO HARVEST.......
FROM THE 2 PLANTS FROM LAST YEARS HARVEST, HAVE 23 PLANTS.... 90% OF THEM ARE MATURE HEADS. THE REST ARE YEARLINGS.
my old load locks works great to hang the heads...
the largest head had a circumference of 15"....
some of the largest heads with corms still attached.. will remove them and save for fall planting...
just look at them...
bucket with loose corms from harvesting....
will roast the large cloves and make garlic/herb butter and freeze and of course dehydrate some for garlic powder.
all the smaller mature cloves, 1st year blubs and the corms are my seed for this fall to plant....
the 3 stages of the life cycle of elephant garlic....
