Here's part of my garlic harvest. I left them in the ground too long, judging by the cloves that are separating in some of the heads. I should have pulled them out of the ground when the leaves turned brown, but I got side-tracked and let them go a few weeks more.

Can all of these be saved? How should I cure the ones that have separated? The soil was not as loose as I thought (something to improve on next time) so they have clay-like mud on them. I want to just rinse them off, but I will not.
