I saw an article on forcing garlic a couple of months ago and thought I would have a go. The stems are now 9 inches tall. How do I know when to harvest it?

I presume that by forcing all you are doing is ensuring there is more green matter to capture the sunshine and grow larger bulbs. I cannot see how you will bring forward the complete life cycle of the garlic, but I may be wrong. Keep us all informed. Cheers, Tony.
So the stupid question is how do you know when to harvest normal garlic?
And the stupid answer is when about three leaves have turned brown and started to die off. Cheers, Tony.
Thank you , that makes sense.
