Growing Garlic from Planting to Harvest

There are two main types of garlic: hardneck and softneck. Hardneck varieties are more tolerant of cold winters, and they produce flower stems known as scapes. The scapes are edible, and removing them will divert energy into the bulbs to help them grow bigger.

Softneck varieties don’t produce scapes but they will store for longer.
