another dying leaf or two
so I picked some. The scape-
carrying one is noticably smaller as
is advertised.

 
 

Checked out the number of dead leaves and picked one on July 8th

 

 

 

Harvested this one on July 5th
Trying to decide when to do it.
It has been 2 weeks since the Scapes were cut

Once again all 10 Bulbs were purchased from Stantons in New Scotland-may as well stick with a winner!

 

Note-the patch on top contains the garlic 'seeds' that will be there for a coule of years...saving the portion to the left for another planting

Note-Garlic will not survive in flower boxes-
I tried in the Fall and Spring.
Onions thrived in the same flower box containers-and I will use/expand next year.

All of the plants were completely brown so I gathered them and here are the results-surprising as
in previous years they were harvested when half green and not as early as this year. I harvested about 45 or
more plants and they are all hanging in the basement and more than half are grocery store sized bulbs
,
I did save some scape baby cloves and will plant them in a separate
location as they are supposed to take an extra year to grow into full sized bulbs.
These cloves are about the size of popcorn kernels.

Harvested the 1st Garlic as more than half of the leaves were brown.
These Stanton Farms cloves were planted November 7 2022
Very good sized Bulb!
