I dug all of my garlic on Friday (7/24/15); overall happy with the size of the bulbs, although I don't see a great deal of difference as a result of selecting the largest cloves to plant and spacing the plants farther apart than I've done in the past. This year I'll take some actual measurements, weight and circumference of the bulbs, to compare to next year. At any rate, I think I'll have more than enough garlic for my purposes! I planted about 140 cloves altogether, back on October 26th; this year I want to get them in by the beginning of October, if I have some space freed up in the garden.

Ajo Rojo (a Creole type)


Mixture of Polish Softneck and Western Rose (I can't remember why I didn't keep these separate when I first started growing them!)

Music (a Porcelain type of hardneck)


An unidentified hardneck type, given to me by a friend years ago and the first type of garlic that I ever successfully grew.
