Late spring or early summer will be the ideal time to harvest the garlic, since they have already completed the whole cultivation cycle and we must be prepared and have some small guidelines to harvest them at the time and at the ideal time.

Cultivated
In all the posts named above, we saw the full cycle of garlic cultivation. In other words, start by choosing the best garlic to plant, eliminating the smallest and most deformed ones, because from the best specimens we will obtain better garlic.
The next step is planting, including everything needed in terms of substrate, maintaining planting distance, etc.
The next step was tending and watering, removing competing weeds, as well as removing stems if more than one shoot, to prevent them from competing with each other.
We have also seen the importance of cutting the flower, and at a certain point of tying the garlic, this is what we do when they start to turn yellow, so that the bulb does not lose strength.
The garlic harvest, as we saw in the post and in the video, is the end of the harvest, and we will let them dry on the terrace before preserving and storing them.
