Garlic
Garlic rewards patience: planted in fall and harvested the following summer, dome-grown garlic offers a flavor and quality that store-bought simply can't match. The Growing Dome environment opens up softneck and elephant garlic varieties that don't always thrive outdoors, alongside hardneck classics. From fall plantings to scape harvests to cured bulbs, dome owners are growing garlic at home as both a kitchen staple and a long-storage crop. Explore hardneck versus softneck selection, fall planting timing, scape harvesting, bulb harvest signs, curing practices, and recipes for fresh garlic, scapes, roasted heads, and home-cured strings.
