Based on my experience the secret to making excellent Biryanis is in the way you create the the Biryani Masala. If the Biryani Masala is well prepared, half the war is won.

You can replant it this fall but it's difficult to say how well it will perform as seed stock. Hi Jennifer, sure you can harvest, or replant the garlic and it is perfectly fine to eat.

I dutifully replanted the clump as it was, and have basically ignored it for a couple of years. Can I harvest the bulbs now? I know it says in your guide that they will likely separate and the paper won't be in good shape~ but will it be edible? Could I dig up what is there now, separate and replant correctly this fall?

If you find any, strip the garlic down to its individual cloves and find what made the hole, otherwise a maggoty beetle larva will soon spoil a lot of the crop. Powder falling out of your dried cloves is also a sign that you need to do some investigating. When you harvest and dry garlic, it’s a good idea to look for little round holes in the stems.

If space is at a premium in the garden you can always tuck a clove here and there, wherever you have a gap between other plants. Garlic may even discourage insects like aphids from hanging around on other neighboring plants! I plant my cloves about eight inches apart in a matrix pattern so I can get good production out of a very small area of the garden. Even a 2 x 2 foot area can easily yield at least ten large bulbs of gourmet quality garlic.

Seeing your nice bulbs makes me wish I had room to grow some. I just might find a way to fit some in this fall when I do my other fall crops. Any suggestions on what grows well with garlic? Thanks for sharing! Tee Awesome looking harvest. Seeing your nice bulbs makes me wish I had room to grow some. I just might find a way to fit some in this fall when I do my other fall crops.
