    Good point... My two older grandkids are way out in Lansing. And my two younger grandkids are pretty little for weed pullin. So guess who that leaves for the bull work.... which is why the weeds win this year.

    Well the mixed results are in pretty much the seed bulbs had bigger cloves but they had more sun so I've been growing with just the seed bulbs for 29 or so years I'll stick with it.

    The old man that gave it to me said eat what's in the ground and plant what's on top.

    Harvest this year is down probably because of the weeds.

    Looks good Hawgrider. My crop was short this year as well. Ours should be dried by now since the garage has been extremely hot this summer. Probably trim it up this week or next.

    Few more days of drying for mine then I'll do the same.

    So, what do you do after after it dries good?
    make garlic salt?

    After pulling it out of the ground you hang it somewhere outside where it won't get rained on with plenty of air flow and let it cure for for a while.

    Then trim the roots off and the stalk and bring the cloves in the house for fresh garlic all winter. If you have more than you need for the winter yup make garlic powder and garlic salt or some smoked garlic salt.
