This evening I finished harvesting the garlic and elephant garlic. The bulbs, leaves, stocks, and all, will hang in the shed for a few weeks to dry, then I will clean them off. I keep them in the vegetable drawer of my refrigerator until the end of September, then I separate them into cloves and plant them again.

A couple of years ago, I started over from one bulb of elephant and a couple of regular garlic; I had been growing bunches and bunches. I have about fifteen or twenty elephant bulbs and about that many regular garlic now. The plan is to replant almost all of the cloves.
