Garlic!

Yesterday I harvested half my garlic.  I never quite know when to harvest garlic. I harvested some a couple of weeks ago and it lacked skins around the cloves - but was still very tasty.  I have this second batch hanging in the shed to cure and hope it is ready.  I think I will leave the rest in the ground for another week or so.  I do know that when I re plant the garlic I want to use the over-mature garlic heads where the cloves are loose and the skins well-developed. The skins helps protect the seed cloves from the elements.  Whereas most of the garlic that I eat does not seem to need such protection - it gets consumed pronto!  Patrick
