Hi y'all,

1st time growing garlic and want to do it right. Does this look ready to harvest to you?

Try sliding the lot out of the pot and see if you can see the bulb's. By looking at the pic's i would leave them till the majority of the leaves have turned yellow.

Thanks Fatcat... I'll leave them for the time being. It would be a bot hard to slide them all out of the pot - it's half a water butt!  :D

At least rust doesn't seem to affect the yield

Leave them 10 days to a fortnight yet,

Made a start have beds established but moved in too late for serious planting. We shall see what 2015 brings.
