I dug the row up and was a little disappointed with the results. The heads are much smaller than I was hoping they'd be, but at least I got something.
This was the largest head. The rest of them were around the size of a golf ball. They're still edible though!
Next year I'll try again. I'll probably amend the soil a bit as well.
Oh yeah, and the garlic I planted game from the grocery store. Maybe this fall I'll buy some nice garlic instead of getting what was available at Foodlion. :-)

Look at that garlic! That's great, Kate! I'm sorry the heads were so small but not bad for garlic from the grocery store :) ARe you going to braid the tops?
Beck, I saw a neat way to thread the tops through string in that book you gave me. I'm going to try it!
Those look good. I've never tried growing garlic. I'm gonna have to add that to my fall list.
Yum! I forgot to plant garlic this year - but yours looks great!
We grow many different kinds of hardneck garlic, hundreds of them. Here in N. Illinois, they aren't ready until early to mid July. Try Music--the heads are HUGE, with only a few cloves that are easy to peel. It's our favorite.
Thanks Terri! I'll definitely try that one!
