Lake Elmo Gourmet Garlic

10/27/2025

Thank you to the incredible team of volunteer garlic technicians. Today we put 1460 seeds in the ground. A bit less than half of normal due to the poor crop from last years bad weather.
I’m already looking forward to harvest in July.
Rumor has it, the after celebration will include live music!!
I hope you all have your garlic in the ground and can relax for a spell. Wishing you all a wonderful winter. ( remember to like and share )

Lake Elmo Gourmet Garlic Refill.
It’s the same premium, chemical-free garlic powder as before, now packaged in a convenient resealable bag. This choice benefits both the environment and your budget!
As always like and share this post and our

If you’re Garlic is looking anything like mine, it’s time to harvest!
Notice the yellow leaves that have died back indicating harvest time.
I’m pulling mine out of the ground this upcoming Sunday, July 14.
If you haven’t already removed the cover or Straw from your beds, I would do so now with the hopes that things will dry out a little bit before you harvest .
You don’t want muddy bulbs !!
