Garlic Problem?

I pulled up a couple of garlic bulbs today. The leaves were going a bit brown but I wasn’t sure if that indicated the garlic was ready or not. There’s a bit of doubt because in the wind and rain about 3 weeks ago the plants took a hammering and were leaning over a bit.

Anyways, much to my disappointment the unearthed bulbs were titchy ! Great smell of garlic but really small bulbs. Fingers crossed the rest of them aren’t the same. I’m now wondering if I should’ve weeded more between each garlic plant ….could be yet another mistake… bleeding nora!

    Just discovered your blog and it’s great! I love garlic but wasn’t able to get any into my allotment for this year. I recently helped our friends at their farm with harvesting garlic.

    Hi Kevin

    Thanks for the comment! I’ve dug some more up and a few are a reasonable size. We’ll still use the smaller bulbs of course.
