As with onions, wait until the garlic stalks fall over at the end of the growing season, then pull the bulbs and lay them out to cure.
Instead, use the stalks to braid heads of garlic together, making a long garlic rope. If you are worried about your garlic braids sprouting from light exposure or collecting dust all winter long, you can use paper lunch bags to make covers for your garlic braids. Simply cut a hole in the bottom of the bag, then thread the unbraided remainder of the stalks through the hole, and your garlic will stay safe throughout the winter. In milder climates, you can store your crops out on the porch or in an unheated garage.
