Hey Spuds! That's a sweet fruit crop on the horizon!
I have not grown elephant garlic but the strains we grow in Illinois are planted in the fall and harvested in mid to late Summer. You want the strands to dry but you want a few green ones still before you harvest. If the strands are all dry....it's too late.
Everything is looking great!
Thanks for the answer Gene! We tried like 3 years running and wouldnt grow in ground,last fall into pots and WOW,we have garlic.Going to greatly expand next year.
Ive been trying since about 2000 to get this mtn gardening to work,sure wish I had had a mentor but seems folks up here dont garden,a few apple trees,and the ubiquitous berries,thats it.Only other thing we see is tons of flower bulbs,man alive they do well here.
Thanks for looking and commenting,much appreciated.When/if we get fruit production will post.
OH! I tried 2 pomegranates last year,low temp types,and both came thru with flying colors,So I trimmed them back to tree form.Man alive would it be nice to have a couple pomegranates,pom juice,yumm,and boy do they have beautiful red flowers too when in bloom,how nice is that?
