The results of the straw grown garlic is nothing less than incredible. The garlic harvest this year has been my best garlic ever by a long shot! Check it out!

  1. Great stuff! I picked mine on Saturday and it’s hanging in the shed to cure. You have a nice crop there. I grow a garlic in the porcelain group too, it has been my observation, that when I am selecting the bulbs that will be re sown, I choose from the bulbs with more cloves, it seems to encourage future cloves with more bulbs as well. I think I only harvested one three clove bulb this year, lots of fours and fives, even the occasional six.

  2. Oppe – That is beautiful garlic! I've never had good luck with garlic here in Ohio. Perhaps I am using the wrong variety. I can smell your garlic from here! I'd plant brassicas there now.

  3. We are usually about 6 to 10 degrees hotter here in western Wisconsin — and it was NASTY HOT! The tornado took out my brother-in-law's shed up north, and they are still out of power. up there! But back to the garlic. I'm a big garlic fan and will be giving it a shot next year. Thanks for the advice Opie!

  4. Awesome harvest! My suggestion for your unoccupied space would be short maturity bush beans, beets (some for using the greens in salad and some for roasting after harvest – wonderful roasted in the oven with garlic and a little olive oil drizzled over them). If you have any extra tomato or pepper plants, you could try that also.

  5. Awesome Garlic ya got there buddy! So many just don't know how well that old straw works! Glad to hear you did not get any damage from that storm. WOW 120 index is mighty harsh for you folks. We been triple digit index for over two months now. Stay cool as ya can my friend and hope you have a great week!
