Garlic 2021-22

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.
