Harvesting onions and garlic

[Mamabear916]

Last fall, Nov, I planted elephant garlic and one of my neighbors planted onions. The garlic and onions have flower spikes and will be blooming soon. When is the right time to pull them up and store for later use? Judith in Sacramento, CA

I use the garlicfarm site out of california for learning how to grow and care for my new garlic. Planted them last fall following their instructions and my garlic is looking great this year. As a new farmer, I learn as I go and this site saved me alot of failures.
