Keep an eye on the garlic after it has been planted. As bulbs of garlic form in the ground, thin green leaves sprout through the dirt. These leaves are a direct indicator of how well the garlic is doing; when they begin to brown from the bottom up, the garlic will be ready to harvest shortly. Check the size of the garlic bulbs when the leaves are about 1/3 brown.
You plant garlic in the fall, like any other spring bulb and harvest in midsummer. Seed garlic is available for sale in late summer and early fall. For the past two years on Open Farm Day, Gary has given at least one talk about growing garlic, with an opportunity for Q&A. Open Farm Day takes place on the Saturday after Labor Day weekend.
