Quick Answers
How do you harvest and store garlic?
Harvest garlic when tops have died back to the ground.
Dig bulbs as the tops are not strong enough to pull.
Shake off loose earth and cure several days in the sun
to harden skin. Clip off roots right next to bulk and
clip off tops unless you want to braid them. Store
garlic in paper bags in a cool room at about 32-35
degrees F. Do not store garlic in the refrigerator as
the dampness will cause it to rot.
