Duration of garlic digging
When the vegetable has already been planted in the ground, it is necessary to determine when to harvest, so as not to miss the deadlines and worsen the keeping quality and useful properties of garlic. Full ripening of the crop will occur 100-110 days after the appearance of the first seedlings.
