Harvesting polytunnel garlic

Yesterday we dug up our two beds of garlic from inside The Sausage polytunnel. This seems to be an end of May event annually, which is lovely, and a good sign that there is a light at the end of the "hungry gap" tunnel. This year we have dug up about 640 bulbs of good sized garlic, which is currently laid out to dry, and should be available for veg boxes and in our farm shop by the end of next week. We still have about the same quantity of outdoor garlic to harvest, but it will be ready later, and looks smaller.

Planted in October, this photo was taken in January.
