Thanks so much for this informative post about garlic. I’ve got my perennials situated (garden is only 3 years old) so I’m now expanding into more herbs.

You’re welcome Heather, thanks for stopping by and commenting, this garlic is much different than the ordinary store variety. Thanks Josh, I just leave the fall top growth alone but I don’t think that it would do any harm to harvest them for green onions as Cynthia suggested.

Josh,

I don’t have multiplier onions, but do have a nice patch of Egyptian or Walking onions. For a couple weeks now I have enjoyed harvesting the greens that shoot up when the summer tips fall over and sprout. A real touch of spring. They will also be one of the first things to come up in the spring and during the summer I use some of the top cloves like garlic for cooking. This is a real sweet plant.

Hey kenny, another good post The multiplier onions I planted are sprouting up greens pretty aggressively already right now. Do you cut them off or let them go all winter long until you harvest them?

Hey there. I just wanted to say thank you for all the comprehensive garlic posts – I just put in my first bed of garlic (I got ours from Hood River Garlic), and after using a few of the smaller cloves for eating I am even more excited; this ain’t your grocery store garlic! Thanks again.
