4. Fertilize and water. Fertilize a few times during the growing season; Once early in April, and again in May. Try a solution of liquid kelp and fish emulsion.
5. Harvest in late July or early August when the plants have five or six green leaves, and three or four that are beginning to turn brown near the bottom of the plant.
6. Don't rush! Be sure to cure your garlic in preparation for storage, hang the bare bulbs with their foliage in bundles or spread them out on a rack or vented surface. Clean the dirt off the garlic, being careful not the bruise the head. Do not remove too much of the protective, papery skins.
