However, this year I decided to grow soft neck and hard neck garlic. I plant in November for my zone 8, southeren AZ zone. The soft neck I harvested in May and it is beautiful. The hardneck I harvested when the tops dried out and the outer leaves turned brown, early June. I let it dry for 3 weeks in a dry shaded area. I cut the tops and the roots off yesterday and the cloves are moldy. What did I do wrong? I have been growing garlic for years and have had great success and a beautiful harvest.

I love garlic it has numerous health benefits. It helps boost your immune system, and intestinal parasites hate the stuff.
