My First Garlic Braid!

Late last week I harvested all our garlic and laid it out on the table in the backyard to dry for a couple of days while we were out of town. Last night I finally got around to braiding it - and I think it went really well! (at least it turned out looking like a braid - and I can hang it).

Our garlic didn't turn out as well this year, and I'm not exactly sure why. Part of me wonders if it's because I didn't buy special garlic to plant as seeds - instead I just saved a head or two from last year's harvest to re-plant. I feel like the heads are much smaller this year - and we had 3 or 4 that were mealy and beginning to mold in the ground. Ick.
