Elephant Garlic
I am growing elephant garlic this year.
Any advice? Do you "harvest" after it flowers or after the leaves died off? dcarch

Harvest after the leaves die down. If you let it flower it will go to seed. Elephant garlic is milder than regular garlic.

Make sure you get all the bulbils around it when you harvest. Or leave and always have elephant garlic. Around here, it has naturalized around old farms and has become a pest. I use it as a natural planting sign. When the first green tips emerge, it is time to plant garlic and shelling peas. Of course, in NY it could act a lot different... Even though it is not a true garlic, I don't care, it tastes great to me and it's easy to grow around here.
Good luck! Tiffanie |
