      6. Besides hoping for dry weather, there is nothing for you to do to prevent the plants from getting wet from rainfall. A dry spell will help to cure the garlic in the ground.

    6. Determine When the Time Is Right

      Picking the right time requires watching the plant closely:

      • The plant is ready after three or four leaves have died, but five or six green leaves remain.
      • Avoid waiting too long because the cloves will begin to separate from the bulbs in the ground.

    7. Dig up the Bulbs

      Garlic bulbs don't easily pull out of the ground like onions.

      While you may have planted a small clove, the mature bulb is now several inches deep and has a strong root system. So always dig up your garlic.

      • If possible, wait for the soil to dry before digging.
      • Never pull it from the ground; the stalks easily break and separate from the bulbs.
      • Use a garden fork because it typically works better than a shovel for digging up garl
