That's a result of digging too late; you want to harvest when about half
the top has turned brown.
I store garlic in a cellar pantry which is fairly cool; some of mine from
last year is still OK, though much has withered.
My favorite is German White, a hardneck with only 3-4 cloves per large
bulb, and strong flavor.
