Keep an eye on the garlic after it has been planted. As bulbs of garlic form in the ground, thin green leaves sprout through the dirt. These leaves are a direct indicator of how well the garlic is doing; when they begin to brown from the bottom up, the garlic will be ready to harvest shortly. Check the size of the garlic bulbs when the leaves are about 1/3 brown.
Garlic comes from a bulb that forms at the bottom of the plant. When you plant a single clove of garlic, it sends up tubular leaves, like large green onions. As each new leaf â¦is added, it forms a clove of garlic inside the bulb, and a wrap around the entire garlic bulb. Jmp1.
