Garlic is increasingly popular with gardeners, because of its delicious taste and reputation as a healthful food . But growing this delicious relative of the onion takes a fair amount of space in the garden and no small amount of patience. It is an unusual plant in the vegetable garden because you have to wait almost a year after planting before you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But if you've grown it well and harvested and stored it properly, you can have Fresh Garlic all winter. This is one of the best vegetables for long-term storage.
When to dig up your garlic is a judgment call, but in general, it`s ready to dig when the lower leaves start to brown. The only way to be sure is to actually dig a few bulbs and slice them in half. If the cloves fill out the skins, it`s time to harvest.
Harvesting too soon will result in smaller cloves that don`t store well. However, leaving the bulbs in the ground too long causes the cloves to burst out of their skins, making them unstorable and vulnerable to disease. So timing is quite important when it comes to harvesting and storing garlic.
Not all garlic varieties mature at the same time. Artichoke garlic matures first, then Rocamboles, followed by Purple Stripes, Porcelains, and, finally, Silverskins.
Softneck varieties of garlic can be stored for 6 to 8 months. Check periodically to make sure it is not going soft or sprouting. Hardneck varieties may dry out, sprout, or go soft within 2 to 4 months. Storing hardnecks right at freezing temperature sometimes helps them survive for up to 7 months without deteriorating.
