garlic, does anyone grow it?

[orthoclad]

8. I usually harvest when

half the leaves turn brown. There's a sweet spot.

Too soon, and the skin doesn't develop enough for it to keep. If you're using it right away, no problem.

Too late, and the cloves start to grow new plants. The skin gets loose.

I let them airdry, then store the whole plants with some of their leaves in paper bags in a cool, dark, dry place. I've had them keep for up to a year.
