Garlic
In April, I planted a small bed of Early Italian garlic bulbs, ordered from Burpee’s. Last week, I noticed that the stalks had gone from green to brown, so on Thursday I harvested the bulbs. I lost a few to bugs (onion maggots, I think), but ended up with 30 bunches in all, just enough to include two in each box. The “seconds” (those bulbs whose stalks were torn off or which were sliced with a shovel) I saved for myself. The bunches are now drying in the shed at Tilghman, and should be ready to send out in two or three weeks.
