WHEN TO HARVEST GARLIC?

How do you know when to harvest garlic bulbs and if they have matured to the right point for harvest?

Each leaf on the above-ground garlic plant represents one potential papery wrapper around the mature bulb. Having well developed, fully intact wrapper layers means that garlic will store longer and keep its wonderful aroma and flavour. The trick is to let the plants begin to die back, but harvest before all the leaves have turned brown.

The top-most, green leaves extend down, into the soil, around each garlic bulb. When the lower two thirds of leaves have dried up and turned brown, the garlic bulbs will be at their best. Because there are still green leaves, there is still quite a lot of moisture left in the bulbs. The process of allowing this moisture to reduce naturally is called “curing” and will increase the storage life of garlic bulbs by months.

Harvest garlic bulbs gently. Take time to loosen the soil above each bulb.Avoid piercing the bulbs by loosening the soil some distance from each one with a fork. Do not rely on simply pulling upwards on the stem, but rather pull gently and at the same time coax the bulb out of the soil with the other hand.All this fuss will

be worth it if the bulb can be extracted without damaging the protective layers.

Once the bulbs are dug, lay the plants in a single layer somewhere that is dry, airy, and out of direct sunshine. Leave the plants (turning them every few days doesn’t hurt) like this for at least a week. The green leaves should dry up and turn brown on their own. This can take several weeks if a lot of moisture is present in the plants’tissues, so play it by ear.

When the bulbs are cured, and no green is left showing on the upper leaves, the garlic will be ready for cleaning and storage. We prefer using a toothbrush to loosen and scrub away any soil still stuck to the bulbs, and trim the roots with scissors. This is the time to braid soft-neck garlic. For hard-neck garlic, trim the stem to within about three inches from the bulb. If the stem is pliant or seems to still have a moist core, it’s worth letting the garlic dry for another week. Garlic netting is the best way to store hardneck garlic bulbs, but they can also be tied in small bundles and hung for easy access in the kitchen.

Save the biggest, best looking bulbs for planting in September – or choose some new garlic varieties. Either way, plant lots of garlic. It’s one of the most economical garden crops.

Mounties recognize young boy for act of kindness, bravery Prince George 2024-06-27 13:28 PDT

Mounties from Prince George RCMP paused to recognize a young boy for an act of kindness and bravery that occurred last week at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.

While on a fieldtrip with his class, 7-year-old Parker Evans witnessed a small child who appeared to be distressed. Parker approached the child and asked where their parent was. When they child indicated they didn’t know, and Parker could not see anyone close by, he brought the child to his teacher. Together, the three of them located the small child’s mother nearby.

We wanted to recognize Parker for his kindness, bravery and leadership. The park was very busy that day and it would have been easy for a young boy to be solely involved in playing with his class. When Parker noticed the distressed child and acted to help, bringing the child to a trusted adult, that shows amazing leadership and bravery that we believed needed to be awarded, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Members of the Community Policing Unit attended Parker’s class on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 and presented him with a certificate of recognition, his very own police notebook and a Victim Services Challenge Coin (along with a few treats!). Well done, Parker!

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)

Something you might like to initiate either with friends or in any situation that involves a group of people can go well. You can be both creative with your ideas or conversation as well as practical. Be aware of the obligations that might come with it or any situation that somebody with authority may not be too pleased about.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

Mercury, the planet of thought and communication moves into your sign this week for its first stay until 26th July. Whatever decisions you make, particularly on a personal level in this time cannot be expected to be final. The position of other people is not something you can be entirely certain about, so let time take its course.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

It might seem more important to fit in with others at the moment. With this attitude you could actually enjoy any responsibilities that go with it, especially if it is to do with young people and what they might be able to accomplish in the long term. Your focus can turn to obligations attached to getting a workable structure in place.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

The ability to have freedom of choice is important. You may have now come to the realisation that these things don’t necessarily need to cost a lot. If you have been able to become more settled of late with certain financial obligations you now have the opportunity to view the long term from a completely different perspective.

VIRGO

(August 23-Sept.22)

You have likely experienced support when it comes to things important to you or in any situation that has involved you with a group of people, even friends. Either something you didn’t see coming or the way normal routines in your life could be interrupted might require you to contemplate matters further up to late July.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

Don’t be tempted to spend money on something you don’t really need, however small, this week. It might be that you get a lot of little things out of the way resulting in a sense that a good job has been done. Communication with others will pick up to late July. In some way it is a first stage – it will be repeated again later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

Any effort you have put into something of late could result in feeling rewarded by a solid structure of some description that has been the hopeful expectation. This can take you to the next stage of planning the future goals or possibilities up to late July. Bear in mind though that this will just be the first stage. More will settle later.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You should feel more confident of mind, especially if you are at a point of finalising something you have been working towards. It can bring a real sense of satisfaction. This can lead you to the next stage to late July that can be about putting regular routines in place. There can be a degree of experimentation with this as a final stage will come up later.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

Decisions can be finalised that can result in greater peace of mind in the future. You can feel settled about having established a situation that will give you a greater sense of security, particularly if you have felt that others could make decisions in the future that could affect you financially. You have successfully protected yourself.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Someone else can expect to have more freedom and to be able to do things their way in the future without taking into account any added responsibility that may be landed with you. It is possible you have been doing too much and now they believe you can continue on. It is up to you to express exactly what you insist on and think.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan.19)

Social situations that have a degree of obligation attached can be a pleasant change to any hectic situations with others that have likely been the case of late that may have necessitated usual routines to be put on hold. Be mindful when it comes to responding to any expectations placed on you to late July as the whole picture may not be evident.

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

The opportunity to be able to do things your way can seem a lucky break but what you need to be careful about is being overly confident. Some sort of balance an at underlying level needs to be maintained either to do with family or you might be reminded by family due to the fact they can sense the unexpected more than you.
