We love a harvest! Did you grow garlic this year? Let us know how yours is doing, is it ready yet? Maybe post us a picture! 🧄🧄

It's getting towards garlic harvesting time. By harvesting at the right time, you'll get the best flavour and longer storage capabilities.
🌿Garlic is ready to harvest when the lower leaves have started to turn yellow.
🧄Cure the garlic after harvesting by leaving in a warm, dry, shady spot with good airflow for 2-4 weeks.
🪏 It's best to gently loosen the soil and lift the bulbs out the ground carefully.
