Garlic 2019

Solid results. That's a lot of garlic. I have noticed that garlic less fertilized (especially with N) will have thinner necks and will mature faster (or rather, the ones fertilized are delayed). The fertilized ones will for certain be bigger in the end, but not proportionally bigger vs neck size. For some varieties, one week can make a huge difference in size, my guess is that the leaves basically unload the stored stuff into the bulb at the end of the plant's life.
