The garlic is ready to come out, we started harvesting about 2 weeks ago. I have two varieties that are earlier than the other two, the Elephant and my house blend of Chet's Italian Red and Inchelium Red (they look the same, and the first year I grew them I accidentally combined them). We started pulling the red first, I like to braid them in large braids (50-100 bulbs) immediately, just for storage purposes. Later, I will take a few of these big braids apart and rebraid them into smaller, nicer braids for sale.
