My first garlic and shallots.


I didn't know you had to let them dry out before using. I guess my old hand-me-up (from my son) shoe isn't the best place to do that but I wanted to show the size of my first-ever garlic bulbs.

Wow! Every year I say I'm going to grow some garlic, but then the right season passes me by. Beautiful!

That's a huge garlic bulb! And there are many aromas which can overpower garlic, except maybe a young man's tennis shoe!

Have you been by the red elephant lately, Pam? I noticed there's a new sculpture there. Have you seen it?

Anne said...

Meant to say "aren't many aromas . . . "

I don't think you *need* to cure the garlic to eat it, since the whole plant is edible (being in the onion family and all). Curing may only be necessary if you intend to store the garlic for any length of time.

That's a beauty you grew! Careful, you could hurt someone with that!
