Garlic and heat... the usual in summer

Garlic jobs have started! In fact, in our area all farmers are working in harvesting and packing garlic since a few weeks ago. These tasks need heat and no rain, so the weather is excellent this campaign.

This time, we visited our neighbor Rafa, who was harvesting white garlic as you can see in our pictures. The harvesting task is very quick if you use a machine which works with two rows. After harvesting and binding garlic, they are put in heaps so that they can continue with its drying process and they aren't damaged by the sun and high temperatures of these days. Other farmers use garlic harvester and cutter machinery what cuts and puts garlic in boxes, as we told spring garlic in Chinchón some weeks ago.
