Who needs Buffy?!

Last year our garlic crop was a bit of a disappointment both in terms of quality, quantity, and size.   This year, we've been overwhelmed.

DH grew both hard necked and soft necked varieties this time (who knew there was a difference?!).  Both did really well.   The bulbs are big, with big fat juicy cloves.   DH harvested them, left them to dry and has been trimming and tying them for the last couple of days.






 
Our kitchen is now festooned with garlic. Soft necked varieties are in traditional plaits, the hard necked varieties can't be plaited.
