Not a bad haul |
Altogether I got about 90 garlic bulbs, not counting a couple very tiny one-clove-sized ones. I planted out 50 bought cloves (from regular grocery store garlic), and around 30-35 of my own homegrown cloves. The remaining bulbs were volunteers that I'd missed from the previous year's harvest.
I plan on replanting around 100 cloves for next year's harvest, though having a year's supply in the cupboard is the most important thing right now; I'll keep at least 60 bulbs for culinary use and buy a few more for planting if there's any shortfall. I've been fully self-reliant in garlic before, with enough for both replanting and eating. Will it be the case this year? I'll know by October, when it's time to replant.
