We grow a lot of garlic, my aim is that we should be self sufficient in garlic. This year we grew an extra bed but lots of our garlic while great wasn’t in great shape for storage for the year. I’ve been saying that I need to process for the freezer but I just haven’t gotten to it.

Last weekend Ma and I did it. It took four hours to get the garlic peeled, processed and ready for the freezer.

We got seven ice cube trays and a 250ml jar of garlic and oil.

It’s not all the garlic we grew, Ma and I both have been using garlic since June and we have garlic bulbs to use first, I have seven and I think Ma has more.

So we have enough garlic to last the year (I hope). While I we we’re peeling this, we ordered the garlic to plant next month (yes I can and I have used the garlic I grew to plant, but we are going for very early garlic this year to deal with the conditions).
