German Red Harvest Success

I harvested our German Red garlic the other day!

German Red is a hardneck variety that I planted in November. 66 cloves planted in all with 62 surviving to harvest.  Very good percentage, however, the plants and the bulbs were smaller overall this season than in years past.  Guessing it had something to do with the weird weather we had.  No worries though, even though on the smaller side their smell is mouth watering!


Two 4'x8' raised beds, 33 plants in each -

Freshly dug -

Cleaned and hung to dry in the garage before trimming -

One of the two raised beds tilled, mixing in compost and grass clippings -
