Unusual Garlic problem
I am an experienced garlic grower, but this year something has
happened that I have never seen before. I planted in October 2002, they shooted before Xmas and now look strong and healthy. However, when I checked them after a bit of gap recently, I noticed that 3 of my plants seemed to be almost dead. They seemed to have no central stem - all that was left was a few outside leaves and these had withered back to yellow. There was no sign of mould or fungi and the only thing I could think of was that some animal had come and eaten the central leaves. This only appeared on a few plants within several other rows that were unaffected - If it was anything serious, I would have expected to see more plants affected. I'm hoping the rest of my crop will survive, but have you ever had this happen? It occurred in April and although it was pretty warm in Bristol (20-25 degrees C for a couple of weeks) we wouldn't have had any insects in any great numbers yet. Look forward to hearing from you. |
