after the garlic has dried and hardened how long does the garlic last?

@tocky12345 If have a good harvest, proper storage conditions, and a bit of luck, your bulbs should last until next year's harvest.

Can you use them as soon as you pull them up?

[kitchengardeners]

@KimberleeMelissa Definitely

Hi there. Thanks for the video. First time garlic-grower here. If I want to keep some cloves for seed the following year, should I separate the cloves I want to keep, after the bulb has been through the drying-out process, and store them in some shredded paper or something?

With all the Vampire movies around these days , it might pay to plant a few extra next year !

Good soil , by the way .

Great. (Got mine in a few weeks ago and they're already 6 or more inches high and it's only December!)
