How do i know when my garlic is ready for cultivating?
Question:
Answers:
As garlic reaches maturity, the leaves will brown then die away. This is the cue that it is time to harvest your garlic crop. If you harvest too early the cloves will be very small, too late and the bulb will have split.
Once picked, it 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.
If you mean for harvesting, usually it's when the tops turn brown and die back. This generally takes about 10 months. You plant in September or October and harvest in June or July.
When your garlic blooms and has a bulb on top of the stems, break that off, and replant it, and dig up your garlic..Its ready, the bulb you plant will make more garlic...
