Giant Garlic
What a bunch of whoppers! I decided to pull up my garlic a few days ago after the rust got too much for them. I had already pulled up some that I planted back in November and they were of a fair size. But I have to say I was flabbergasted when I saw these. They’re enormous! They’re not an elephant garlic variety just a normal ‘purple’ variety. I’m not sure why they’re so big. I planted them around December time so they’ve been in the ground a fair while but still… I have around 15 more to harvest so there will be no shortage of garlic this year. A good tip when harvesting is to make sure that you clean them off as soon as you pull them. If you let the soil dry on them it’s virtually impossible to get off. Plus it makes them look pretty.
