Related: About this forumI did a test pull of garlic. WOW!!
I photographed it next to a Hydrangea, just to give some perspective to the size. And this wasn't from one of the big stalks. I hope those have even bigger delights. I might start the harvest on Sunday. Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher.

Good looking garlic. It's big, too. It's such an essential herb.

And that's a beauty.

(27,830 posts)I hang it in the screened in porch and/or garage. I have a dehumidifier in the basement but I still use those two areas. The air circulation is much better.
Generally I let it 'season' for about 3 to 4 weeks, or when the stalks are completely dried out.

(27,830 posts)Funny, though. I was thinking about looking up some good ways to preserve it.

The one I saw added a little olive oil in the mincing/blending... But still freezing flat in baggies to easily break off the amount you need.
Plenty more videos w/ideas!

(27,830 posts)I'm also thinking about making a garlic puree. Maybe try freezing it in an ice cube tray and then popping the portions in to a zip lock bag. I make one out of minced garlic and it's a great way to make garlic butter.
