Worried about my garlic

Scribbler · « **on:** June 01, 2008, 17:19 »

I know it's early days yet, but my garlic (planted mid-October) is about 18" tall. However a sneak peek shows the bulbs are still only about an inch across. Harvest should be June/July/August. Do you think they will swell up in time?

Sounds like mine Scribbler I reckon they'll be fine I was planning end of July harvest anyway.

How do you know when its ready to harvest?

The foliage stops developing when bulbing and splitting takes place, this is triggered by day length and higher temperature, then foliage dies back and bends over.
