Garlic's Dropping

Seems a bit early

Might have a few up for a look.

 

Hi Zig

when did you plant them

 

Have you been keeping them watered?

And if that's a hefalump garlic in the foreground it would benefit from having the scape removed.

 

Looks like theyve run to seed instead of fattening up the bulb. Too warm not enough water/food ? and the scapes havent been removed.
Just a guess as im still learning about the garlic growing and have about 140 in containers right now. Scapes have been removed ,watered/fed g and not expecting a crop until July.

 

Panicked and have just been out in the (light) rain to water mine. Still looking good, but need a final weeding.

 

Been watering regularly, I probably planted them september/october time.

Had em all out except for the hefalumps, will eat the scapes tomorrow



These are from the biggest blubs I saved from the previous crop

And these are ones I just rounded up when they re grew.

 

Thats some damn fine looking garlic there Zigs. I hope mine get like that avoiding the rust or rot.

 

Mines going the same way, one patch has got rust, so dug them out, the other is now dying off.

Only the elephant garlic is still growing.

Should add, never water the stuff, its been in since October.

 

Ta Wee Tam

I got the rust a few weeks back so I sprayed with Bordeaux mixture

Il a bien fait

 

Ive used the last of my Nimrod T and roseclear on mine. Pity the Eurocrats banned NimrodT,toxic as hell but worked atreat.

 

Thought that was an Aircraft

 

Nimrod T was banned about 10yrs ago.
As you say it was very effective, I only used it on mildew.

 

Looks like it might rain so hung them up in the greenhouse

 

Mine looks exactly the same, extremely dry period earlier in the year, April time, and the bulbs just haven't swelled, all gone to seed now. Planted out late September. The bulbs are about the size of a marble

 

Should have watered
