I did a test pull of garlic. WOW!!

[Siwsan]

I photographed it next to a Hydrangea, just to give some perspective to the size. And this wasn't from one of the big stalks. I hope those have even bigger delights. I might start the harvest on Sunday. Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher.

1. Nice!

2. Wow... That's quite the head of garlic...

(careful with the kitkats, though)...

3. Nice

Good looking garlic. It's big, too. It's such an essential herb.

4. What area of the country are you in? Do you hang it in the basement?

And how long before you use it? Sorry about all the questions. We're in southern New England and will probably did it up in a week or so.

And that's a beauty.

6. I'm in Michigan

I hang it in the screened in porch and/or garage. I have a dehumidifier in the basement but I still use those two areas. The air circulation is much better.

Generally I let it 'season' for about 3 to 4 weeks, or when the stalks are completely dried out.

5. Awesome, Siwsan!

Do you preserve it and how do you do it?

[Siwsan]

7. I generally just store it and give LOTS away

Funny, though. I was thinking about looking up some good ways to preserve it.

10. Dude, my husband would be running to your house if he were close enough and he heard that you were giving them away!

Like right now! LOL.

16. I recently saw something similar to this trick:

52 seconds long

The one I saw added a little olive oil in the mincing/blending... But still freezing flat in baggies to easily break off the amount you need.
Plenty more videos w/ideas!

* Also this from *** America's Test Kitchen * *

17. That's a great idea!

I'm also thinking about making a garlic puree. Maybe try freezing it in an ice cube tray and then popping the portions in to a zip lock bag. I make one out of minced garlic and it's a great way to make garlic butter.

8. Purple garlic! Nice!

9. Can this garlic be used against Stephen Miller?

Asking for a friend who is a vampire slayer.

[Siwsan]

15. I certainly hope so

I'd tip off Elon Musk but then I ask myself 'Why??'

[PurgedVoter]

11. since you raise garlic, you can have a treat few get to ever taste.

green garlic, like a green onion, only garlic, is amazing and wonderful.

[MLAA]

12. How about baking it and then spreading it on French bread? Yum! I'd bring the bread if I were anywhere near you 🩷

[Evolve Dammit]

13. I did the same. Brought one to my neighbor, whole bulb and scapes, who was thrilled. Lots more coming!

[LoisB]

14. WOW! is right. Now, how about some advice on how to prevent cabbage worms from some

of you real gardeners. I am a novice.
