Default scapes question

I don't know where you are; my small patch of hardneck garlic hasn't
put up scapes yet, but expect them soon.

And about 1/3 of the leaves are now yellow.
Is it time to harvest?


Sounds a little (not a lot) soon; I'd wait a bit. Perhaps the plants
were stressed for some reason. I know a fellow who gets his carrots
to bloom for seed by letting not watering- in the Nevada high desert,
where the only water they get is what he supplies- then starting water
to trigger their "Ohmigod, I'm going to die! Better start the next
generation NOW!"
