In the second month of summer, people are already starting to harvest little by little. It's time to dig up winter garlic, but you'll learn how to do it right here.

If you do not keep to the allotted time, the garlic may become overripe and begin to rot, which will reduce the shelf life of the garlic.

Garlic grows in 3 months, and it can be dug up approximately between July 20 and August 1.

If the four bottom leaves of the garlic begin to dry out, it is time to harvest it.

If the arrows have straightened and the inflorescence has fully opened, this is also a sign that the garlic has grown.

If the garlic does not produce shoots, you can determine its readiness by the neck of the stem, it becomes soft and has a yellow color.

When you dig up the garlic, it should be firm and have purple skins.
