To Hoffman, above, planting and harvesting are the “easy parts” of growing garlic. “Getting enough space composted and ready for planting is a huge job,” as is keeping the garlic beds weeded and removing tens of thousands of garlic scapes
Planting and harvesting at The Cutting Veg farm is a community and family affair, with many volunteers, such as Eva Horner, lending a hand.
