    Hardneck garlic has a little curly thing that grows out of the top, from which there is a white sac-like thing containing bulbils. Each one is about the side a pea. You want to cut off most of these bulbils, leaving only a few. Leaving too many will sap some of the energy needed for prodicing the actual garlic bulb growing in the ground.

    It may be suffering from an iron deficiency. This commonly causes this kind of coloration. This normally happens either when the plant is watered too much and the nutrients get leeched away or if the pH is too high. Test the soil and correct any nutrient and pH issues found when testing. Also, make sure that the soil is not too porous and is letting the water run away too quickly.

    After harvesting, do not wash it off. Washing after harvesting encourages rot. Allow them to dry out by laying them out on a flat, newspaper covered surface somewhere that is cool and dry. You may even wish to use a fan over them to circulate the air. They should be dry in about a week and ready for storage.

    Plant your separated garlic cloves in a prepared bed, (as with onions) in september, leaving the tip of the clove slightly exposed. Plant about ten inches apart, these should be ready in August the following year, wait until the leaves start to yellow and dig up, and again as with onions, clean off the soil, and allow to dry in a cool airy place. Alternatively, get two car tyres and place them on their side, one on top of the other,and fill with compost, and set six cloves in this, if you are limmited for space, and leave to grow outside. dont be concerned over frost and snow, garlic thrives on it. The latter method of growing can be applied to any plant when the growing area is limmited,

    To harvest garlic you have to wait till the stalks turn a yellowish color and then dig them up and cut the stem off about four inches above the bulb. Allow several weeks for them to dry out in a cool dry place. ( basement )

    Garlic takes more than one season to grow. Plant it this year and next year you'll have garlic.
