HARDNECK GARLIC:
Hardneck garlic will form flower stalks, called garlic scapes. The scapes are hard, long, curled stalks that appear 1-2 months after the first leaves. Top the plants by cutting the scape from the plant when the scape reaches 1/2 to full curl; topping encourages the plant to focus energy on growing the bulb rather than the scape. Scapes are edible and can be used for pesto or in dishes that call for garlic (we like to pickle ours and turn them into pickled garlic scapes).
 
HARVEST:
Harvest in summer, when the bottom 3-4 lower leaves turn brown, which should be in June through August, depending on your location. Do not leave in the ground too long or bulbs will separate and rot. Dig garlic with a spading fork or undercutter, being careful not to bruise the bulbs. Brush off the soil before curing and storing the bulbs.
 
CURING & STORAGE:
Cure in a warm, shady place with good air circulation (gentle air flow is important; do not point a fan directly at the curing bulbs). To avoid potential damage to curing bulbs, avoid high heat and direct sun. Hang in bundles or spread as a single layer on screens or drying racks. Allow to cure until the neck is dry and outer skin is papery, approximately 2-3 weeks. Store by braiding or tying several heads together and hanging up, or store by cutting tops off and placing bulbs in a mesh bag or open container. Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at 45-55°F (7-13°C) and 50-60% relative humidity. Garlic stored in the refrigerator is likely to sprout.
 
SEEDS/LB.:
Hardneck varieties average 5-8 cloves per head and 40 cloves per pound. Softneck varieties average 7 large cloves per head and 45 cloves per pound. (Please note that these numbers are averages and the actual number of cloves per pound can vary each year depending upon weather and growing conditions during seed production.)
