The second month of summer is the time to harvest the first crop of vegetables, or more precisely, winter garlic. In order not to overexpose or not to pick the crop prematurely, you need to have an idea of the timing.
And it is even better to focus on the appearance of the plant. Summer residents were reminded how not to make a mistake when harvesting winter garlic from the garden.
Cleaning times
Much depends on the climate, weather, soil condition and garden bed maintenance.
Garlic is usually harvested in the second half or even at the end of July.
External signs
However, it would be correct to focus not on the timing, but on the appearance of the garlic.
If 5-6 leaves of the plant have already dried up, then you can safely start cleaning.
Garlic planted in spring is harvested approximately one month later.
Dig up or pull out
Garlic is dug up or pulled out of the beds depending on the density of the soil.
If it is heavy soil, like black soil or loam, then it is better to dig up the garlic. On sandy loam and peat soils, garlic is pulled out.
After this, the tops are not cut off, but the harvest is sent to dry in a dry and shady place.
