How did you know when to pick them?

I planted garlic last Fall, and the’re huge, bushy and tall, but I don’t know when to harvest them.

I live in Southern Oregon, by the way.

Recommend planting hard neck garlic in October/November.
Harvest in the spring.

You’ll observe a curious shoot come up first. Clip these “scrapes” to force the garlic to make bulbs.

The scrapes are tasty...
