scapes question
Hi All,
My bogatyr garlic just scaped. I cut them all of and they are slated for the dinner table.l Isn't it a little early for scapes? And about 1/3 of the leaves are now yellow. Is it time to harvest? Many thanks, -T |

sn't it a little early for scapes? 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!

Isn't it a little early for scapes? And about 1/3 of the leaves are now yellow. Is it time to harvest? it can vary. mine are just starting to get scapes, so it will be a few weeks to a month yet here and since i do let the scapes grow and get bulbules on them i leave them a bit longer than 1/3, but as little as possible since it really does start to affect the quality of the tunic. i'll have to stop watering them in a few weeks. so far this year has been about the opposite of the past several years. which is ok but different for sure. a lot of sunshine, things are growin'... :) songbird |
