An example of garlic that was left in the ground too long
This is hardneck garlic, no idea what kind but it's either Music, Rocambole, or Russian Red ๐
You can see the cloves moving away from the stalk and the tips of the cloves look like they might be thinking about sprouting...
Here is some that was in for way too long/was too wet for too long:
I will still plant this because why not?
This is garlic that will cure well and last for a few months:
Hardneck doesn't last as long but it is best for our climate. We will likely make garlic salt or garlic powder in the dehydrator if we can't use it before it sprouts.

You can always clean the cloves and put them in a jar in the freezer :)
Thanks for sharing! This year I seem to be running behind all my harvests. So that's why some of my garlic looks as it does. I'll remember to eat the more separated ones first.
It turns so fast! I was thinking I should get to it and then we had a few days rain...and by then many were quite advanced. I hope you enjoy your harvest.
It's just happy to see you.
