Next time you have lots to peel, do this.......Put about 8 cloves of garlic in (I use my metal mixing bowls) on bowl, using two bowls the same size if possible, if not, then one a bit smaller than the other so they fit tightly together. <br /><br />Now, holding the bowls together, shake them up and down really fast for about 15 seconds. All that rattling around causes them to come right out of their skins! And it really works! If it didn't shake longer but still as hard. I was able to do 3 lbs so much faster than I ever thought and SO THANKFUL to have learned this useful trick.<br /><br />Blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-45915799795589217162014-09-28T16:40:10.302-07:002014-09-28T16:40:10.302-07:00Ok, that impressed me and I'm going to have to...Ok, that impressed me and I'm going to have to try it myself!<br /><br />EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-26094703549347155522014-09-28T16:36:36.593-07:002014-09-28T16:36:36.593-07:00Thanks for sharing the idea!

It multiplied and I replant it every year, giving at least 100 bulbs away from my small patch and saving quite a few myself to use and to replant. The trick is to plant the best looking cloves, not the small ones. You get what you plant. Plant the choicest cloves and you will have garlic forever.<br /><br />God Bless,<br />Janet in MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-86185282065511247752014-09-26T08:20:55.952-07:002014-09-26T08:20:55.952-07:00Enola,

I have seen jars in stores and at the farmers market. I don't know how long the garlic would last in olive oil.....it may need to be refrigerated. This is something I need to investigate.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-19446819069078867642014-09-26T07:49:27.425-07:002014-09-26T07:49:27.425-07:00A root cellar is not the right solution for storin...A root cellar is not the right solution for storing onions and garlic. They need cool (50 oF) and dry conditions. A proper root cellar is 80-90% relative humidity and very close to freezing...35 oF or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-26165830834634416842014-09-26T07:23:51.759-07:002014-09-26T07:23:51.759-07:00We pack ours in olive oil.We pack ours in olive oil.Rosemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-1309476951400659732014-09-26T06:49:51.665-07:002014-09-26T06:49:51.665-07:00What a wonderful gift!

Also, don't forget about the great scapes you'll be getting before your garlic is ready to harvest.<br />odiiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110172156488999203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-74073167581491793952014-09-26T04:53:23.141-07:002014-09-26T04:53:23.141-07:00Hi,
