Last week I harvested my garlic (Ajo in Spanish).  I grow both hardneck (rocambole) and soft neck garlics.  I grow several varieties of hardneck because I like their flavor  and ease of peeling.  I grow the soft neck because they keep longer.  Hardnecks will lusually last till December and soft necks will go into March or April.  In both cases, they have to be properly dried.  Here in Bellingham, Washington the garlic is usually planted in November.  It puts down roots and grows to about six inches high before any frost.  It then goes dormant till it warms up a little, usually in January.  Here is what some of my crop looks like.

Hardnecks are on the left and softnecks on the right.

Thanks for looking.
