Is it not good to cut garlic greens before it's ready??????
I plant a little garlic specifically for greens. I use leftover garlic that's starting to sprout in the spring, if I have any. For harvest in early June (when I usually start going to market) I set these cloves out at the beginning of May. (My main crop garlic goes out the previous October, and is harvested in July.) You can set cloves for greens closer than garlic for regular harvest. Pull the whole plant when the greens are tall enough to bother with, but before the greens get tough; peel the outer layer off the immature bulb to make it look pretty; rinse them off; and bunch. This helps fill the table out early in the season.
Usually I can harvest them over about 3 weeks. Greens from mature garlic, or even from garlic that's just a little older, will be too tough to use. If I fall plant the greens garlic, or set it out in early April, the greens are tough by the time I want them. If you start going to market earlier, you'd want to plant them earlier than I do, or even to fall plant them.
