    Selection & Storage

    • After harvesting, spread garlic out in a shady, warm, dry area with good airflow for 2 to 3 weeks to ‘cure’ for better storage. Finally, trim off the roots and leaves close to the bulb and wipe off loose dirt.
    • Store garlic in a dark space with good airflow. Well cured bulbs can be stored for months, or can be used to plant next year’s crop.
    • Garlic adds flavor. Use it in soups, stews, casseroles, pasta sauces, salad dressings, marinades and more.
    • Roast whole heads of garlic to spread on bread or crackers. See the recipe on the other side of this page.
