How to tell when garlic is ready?

Knowing how to tell when garlic is ready helps you harvest at the perfect time for the best flavor and storage. Garlic is usually ready when the lower 3–5 leaves have turned brown while the upper leaves remain green. The bulbs should feel firm, with well-formed cloves and tight outer wrappers. Avoid waiting until all the leaves dry out, as the bulbs may split and store poorly.
