Question for garlic growers - Page 3

 



You can, but the root loss will result in smaller bulbs.  Better to pull
and use it as "green garlic," which brings fancy prices at the farmers'
market.

I can always tell where last year's garlic bed was by the volunteers.

I've still got volunteers from two years ago.  Can't seem to get it all up!

What happens when you leave them alone?  How does the clustering affect
the bulbs and individual cloves?

They continue to produce more and smaller bulbs.  One excellent variety,
GSG#65, was discovered in a yard in Rome, NY (settled by some of the
Italian stonemasons who were brought over to build the Erie canal).  The
plants looked like wild onion until they were divided and given room for a
couple of generations.
