This years garlic crop is doing very well so far. The El Nino should prove to be a boon for the garlic and my other veges this year, much better than last year when I lost probably half of the crop due to rot because it was so cold and wet. With any luck, I should be harvesting it maybe a bit before Christmas.

Nah, it just kind of matures when it's good and ready down here. Planting can be any time from about March to June. But, usually by April the bulbs I've saved for replanting (the ones with the biggest cloves) have started to shoot, so I stuff them in the ground then.

I started with a few different varieties and basically kept the ones that did the best. Now they're all roughly the same variety and have acclimatized to my local microclimate, so they're getting better with each year.
