Garlic 2019

[bower]

More Music from the back bed I harvested today at 4 weeks from scapes. These were growing up from bulbils, and except for a few small ones they're about the same size as the main crop. My two friends were here today and both said their porcelains were about the same size or smaller. So I didn't do too badly in what is not a great growing season for garlic here.

It is really getting late now for garlic, and weather turned cooler this weekend, but I will leave the Spanish Roja and Persian Star and Chesnok Red for another week. There is some rain in the forecast but not more than 5 cm, hope it sticks to that, and I'll harvest those next weekend. My friends have already harvested all their varieties but the later ones SR and PS were really small. If mine size up even modestly I will give some to my friend for seed instead of keeping those to eat. I have plenty of porcelains anyway.
