This year I have a great crop of Musik garlic that I just harvested. I'm in SW Ontario, Zone 5b; most of the bulbs are a good normal size and 1/4 of the crop has exceptionally large heads. The stems are also large, ~ one inch+ in diameter. I've had to cut the stems within 8" of the bulb or they'll never dry. I have a drying frame in my shed, but am still worried the thick stems will cause rot before the bulbs cure.
What else can I do to get proper curing on these bulbs? thanks
