• Only hardneck garlic flowers. If it's a softneck you'll just get leaves. When they yellow and wilt, it's time to get digging (stop watering up to 2 weeks before to allow the earth around the bulbs to dry out - clay will need 2+ weeks, sandy soils less).

    This is combination of experience plus advice from the garlic farm people who were at Hampton Court flower show a week ago

  • Oh. They've been in there a few years... They were very dry this year but I put some seeds near them recently so they've been watered. Might just leave them another year.

  • I'd dig them up now and then in Oct or nov split out the cloves and plant them individually. You want a good cold snap a few weeks after planting. Should be ready to harvest in June
