I dug up some garlic today. The leaves had flopped over and dried out, they're a little rusty. The clumps of cloves were a good size, the biggest I've ever grown, bearing in mind they're just bunged in some poor soil. The outer skins were all black so I fear they've been left in the ground too long. It doesn't look like black mould but just the outers going rotten. Peeling one showed all was well underneath. Anyway I used it for dinner and I'm still here
I will dig up the rest and dry them out and see what happens.

I pulled all my garlic today too. They were more than ready to be pulled, but I've been on holiday so they're a bit rusty and floppy.
The smell is amazing
I don't trust them to dry out and cure for storing, so I will make garlic ice cubes

What method do you use for the cubes please?
RE: Garlic 2021-22 - SarrissUK - 04-07-2022
I'm going to blend them in the food processor with some water, that's all Danny. Then freeze in ice cube trays, then bung them in a bag to keep them sealed. I've not done it before, but there's so many bulbs with no outter layer to protect the cloves that I daren't store them. What do you think? Will it work?

With your job exploits did you get a chance to freeze your garlic?
RE: Garlic 2021-22 - SarrissUK - 16-07-2022
I haven't yet Danny - they're still drying outside! I've purposely waited, since I knew it was going to get hotter than hell on Monday and Tuesday, so I will be cutting them all down and peel the worst of it off outside tomorrow, and do the mashing/blending when it's too hot to be outside
