How to Properly Harvest Winter Garlic

There are certain rules that will help you not spoil the garlic harvest in the garden. First, stop watering the garlic one to one and a half weeks before harvesting. Second, you must dig it up in the morning or evening when there is no precipitation.

It is better to do this with a pitchfork rather than a shovel, and after harvesting, leave the garlic for a week in a place with good ventilation. This is necessary for the plants to dry a bit after being in wet soil. You should also trim the stems so that about ten centimeters and the roots of the garlic remain.

If after digging you notice that some bulbs are overripe or damaged, set them aside and use them first.
