I think my garlic is ready to harvest.... now what do I do?!
Comments (5)Forgottenone: If my garlic is any indication, you've got it backwards on the flowering. All of my softnecks produced scapes and none of the hardnecks produced a scape. WJB2: for future reference, wait until your plants have lost their bottom 3 - 4 leaves (dried up and turned brown), stop irrigating and when the ground is dried and not wet enough to stick badly to the bulbs then, lift the plants with a turning fork and carefully remove them from the ground. Now it's off to cleaning and curing as described by others previously....See MoreWhat is this disease and are my tomatoes ready to harvest
Comments (1)ONE: The dark spots are called BER(Blossom End Rot). It is not a disease but a physiological disorder, relating to the uptake of calcium. Practically there is nothing anybody can do about it other than trying to be consistent in watering and maintaining soil moisture. The good news, perhaps, is that this situation will not last all season long and should end soon. TWO: when to pick ? Easiest answer is that when they have nice ripened color. But Then there is danger of birds eating them, cracking etc. So I have read (here on GW) that you can pick tomatoes any time after color break and let them sit on the counter top in your kitchen(NO direct sun) until they become nice n red/yellow ,......See MoreIs my garlic ready for harvest?
Comments (10)Thanks for the advise everyone. This is my first year growing garlic so this is all very new to me. I have two or three that are much smaller than the ones in the picture I originally posted. All the leaves were browned, shriveled and fallen over. I decided to pull one and see. Obviously its developed fully but its also very small. I think I'll leave all the others in for another week or two and pull another and see how it goes. I only have about 8 "plants" (I feel like plants is the wrong term to use... is that weird?) but I figure I'll experiment a little and see what works and what doesn't. If I loose any, I'll know better for next year. Any other advise or input would certainly be appreciated!...See MoreAre my artichokes ready to harvest?
Comments (4)you want to harvest as the bottom row of leaves start to spread out. don't wait for the top to open or the artichoke starts getting tough. still, a home-grown artichoke is way better than any store bought....See MoreToni Skidmore
