Can I harvest garlic early?

I am selling my house and have to be out by June 24th. I live in Kansas City and though last year the harvest was early, I'm not sure the plants will be completely ready by that date - and yet I don't want to leave the 80 garlic plants I put in last fall behind if I can help it! I *think* they are all softneck varieties (at least I've never seen scapes).

Can I harvest "early" (this might be a week or two early) and what are the downsides? I'm reading perhaps smaller bulbs, but I'm wondering whether it will store as well or not. (I will have a place to cure it.)

Any advice would be welcome!
