Trying to cure the garlic

GoDawgs · May 26, 2018

When the garlic was hung under the pole shed to cure, the weather was hot but breezy. Then we entered this streak of overcast days and scattered showers. Lots of moisture in the air even if the garlic is under cover. The foliage doesn't seem to be drying well.

The garlic has been moved to the tool shed. Sister Pickles figured a way to do that with short sticks inserted in the small trusses. I trimmed the roots of the bulbs, made sure there was space between the bundles and hung them with a big oscillating floor fan sweeping back and forth over them during the day. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Meanwhile, the tomatillo that was 34" tall three days ago is now at 40".
