EDIBLES
Although the adage says plant garlic on the shortest day and harvest it on the longest, you might be better waiting till the tops start to die off before picking. Dig up by first loosening the soil with a fork and pulling up the bulbs by their tops. Trim the fibrous roots off. To dry, hang in a dry place (in the sun if you like). This will take at least a couple of weeks. Store like this or in string bags.
