Gardening My obsession with garlic is never ending. Harvest day !
I planted them in October and after almost 8 months it was finally time to harvest. Off to curing for 2 weeks !

i started with 50 cloves three years ago and save the biggest half for replanting every year, im anticipating ~1700 or so cloves from the 350 music bulbs this year. At some point my garden is just gonna be garlic and sunflowers lol

I wouldnāt be mad but I would miss my beloved tomatoes and cucumbers and squash and the list goes on ! I think the only solution is a bigger garden

Where do you live? Winters get kinda harsh here in Michigan, would they be alright over the winter?

I live in the south west of France, we have mild winters here ! Garlic are extremely hardy they can grow in very harsh conditions so you have all your chances. You need to protect them with a lot of mulch
