Curly leaf garlic
« on: May 19, 2024, 16:10 »
Afternoon all
I hope everyone has some sunshine today
I wonder if anyone can tell me what has happened to my early wight garlic. It appears to have sprouted multiple stems and leaves within the main stem
Not happened before and is only affecting that variety. I have lifted them but they don’t appear to be diseased

Happy Gardening May your plot be abundant in veg and free from slugs ! :)

Curly garlic is usually due to thrips, which are tiny - so have a good look...

Do check for bugs but apart from that I can’t see why you couldn’t use the stems in cooking.
Keep digging

Excess nitrogen can cause garlic to do some weird things too. Bit strange it's just that variety though

I'm growing 6 varieties and one is doing a lot worse than the others, I'm hoping its because it's a particularly late variety and it'll take off in the coming months.
