Lily and Harvesting Garlic Time

When bottom leaves turn browner than this, it's time to harvest garlic.
If you wait it could shed its wrapper and you'll find cloves unwrapped.

Dig the garlic up and shake dirt off but don't wash. Hand in groups of 10 in a shard dry space. They'll grow some still after being dug up. Hanging to cure until the stalks are all dry and you can cut a few at 2" and squeeze the stalk to make sure it's dry. Then when all dry, cut off all but about 11/2" of the roots, then while wearing gloves you can rub the garlic between your hands to remove some outside layers of the papery covering of the bulb.
Garlic is now ready to use.

It's lily time in gardens and in nature.
If you go hiking, look for lilies.
