Yellow tips on garlic...
« on: April 28, 2014, 07:45 »
Hi guys.

My garlic has yellow tips on the leaves.

Is this a major issue?

When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

If you prepared the ground well before planting and they haven't dried out then they are fine.  It's quite normal for the tips to yellow a bit and dry off. Loads of mine are like that as well.

Yellowing tips is a sign of stress. Too dry, too cold, too windy. They will get over it.

Mine are far yellower than those. I thought about pulling some and using them as wet garlic.
