You should have waited till those green stalks started to turn brown and wilt. You'll get even bigger garlic if you wait. I have some Russian Red I'm going to plant this fall and the bulbs are almost baseball sized. Also plant your biggest individual bulbs to produce big bulbs. Eat the smaller ones. You have a nice bed of them growing:) Also, with shallots, one waits till the tops die.
Thanks for the advice! I’ve heard quite a bit of mixed feedback about waiting til the bottom 1/3 of the garlic leaves die and then harvesting vs waiting for them to all die. I just was really excited to see how they did but I could have waited longer. I left all the chesnok red in and don’t plan to harvest for a few more weeks. :)
@@emmasalaskanhome Red Sun Shallots get really big. You can get a start of them from Gurney's Seed and Nursery. They are spring planted. Save all your big ones and again, eat the small ones. They will create more big ones.
Omg the slow mo of the bee is GOLD 😂
😂 I know. I couldn’t help myself
Nice harvest of garlic and onions 🙂
Thank you! Can’t wait to harvest the rest in a few weeks :)
Wow! Very inspiring ❤😊
I know! Garlic is simply the best crop. You just set it and forget.
