Garlic

[Peteyd]

I lifted mine yesterday as I started to worry about them rotting. I'm gald I did as some had their outer skins rotting off. I've popped them in the greenhouse to dry off but if I hadn't have read the messages in this post I probably would have left it a few more weeks and they'd have rotted

I found that when i left them to dry in the green house, the skins were really tough. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. i wonder whether this is to do with the heat?

You’ve got me paranoid so lifted a dozen today. All looking good. Will leave some of the smaller ones a bit longer in case they bulk up a bit more.

Aahhh... Thanks for the heads up. The outer garlic has dried off now so maybe I'll move it into the shed (where I usually let them dry)
