I started today harvesting my first few garlics. The Asiatic Turban and Creole types always need to be harvested a little earlier that the others, so I started with these. Even though there are several different varieties of garlic in the picture, they all look pretty similar, with the characteristic reddish skin of the Turban types.
They look really good this year. They also smell wonderful! The Turbans are among the most aromatic varieties, and among my favorites. The only drawback is they do tend to fall apart in the ground if you harvest them too late and they are a little more susceptible to garlic rust.
