My garlic has been doing very well lately and the scapes are now all curled. All of the Porcelains (Music, Northern Quebec and Georgian Fire) are doing well with all of the scapes in a single to double curl. The plants themselves are large, around 6”-8” taller than the others. I am planning on cutting the scapes off in the next couple days, when it isn’t raining. The scape below is a Music scape.
The Racombole (Brown Saxon), is a significantly smaller plant and the scapes are just starting to curl. The Red Russian looks very similar to the Brown Saxon with scapes just starting to curl. Below is a Brown Saxon.
The McEwen’s Red is the smallest of all my garlic plants. Now it was planted from rounds so that could have some bearing on its size. It appears to be a more delicate plant a little smaller than the Saxon, with scapes just starting to emerge to scapes curling.
The Polish White has kind of gone nuts. For the most part it has a number of stalks like a bunching onion, although a few have only one stalk. It makes me wonder if I shouldn’t have dug up the entire bed in the fall. I might have left some small cloves in there when I thought they would only be rounds. The scapes are all into a second curl with smaller scapes than the others. That is one of my larger Polish Whites.
