Nice harvest, Frank -- I'm planning to dig up my hardneck garlic tomorrow! (Softneck has already been harvested, a week or so ago; I finally managed to dig it soon enough that all the cloves are enclosed in the bulb wrappers, hoping to braid it for myself and a couple to give away. If that works out I might plant more of the softneck this year.)

I love the "Musik" variety, and also grow another unidentified hardneck that was given to me by a friend some years back. Should have about 50 of each of those.

Ken, I've never weighed my bulbs either, but they look smaller than usual this year; we had a truly brutal winter last year and I was just very happy that my garlic all came up. What would be a normal number of bulbs/pound for you?
