I've been several years without properly harvesting our garlic. I should try to do that this year. We have SO MUCH of it! I am clearing a spot to plant some more squash and had to dig this elephant garlic. It's not yet ready but, hey, it had to move! I'm thinking we might try using it like onions. The bulbs are as large as large Spanish onions.

This looks like it has divided already, so practically ready to harvest. Good size too. Certainly a good onion replacement, as is left over leek when onions proper are not ready yet. Walking onions are also a very good onion replacement at this time of year. Some of my top bulbils are quite big this year.

Those look nice, Macmex! When I dig my elephant garlic, it is easy to leave behind some of those little bulbils and then you get more and more :>)
They make a nice round in year 1, and a head the year after that.

Indeed! Garlic is one of those wonderful "weeds" that just keeps giving. No matter how much I have, I find that it hurts to weed any out, even when it's in the way!
