Had to take a peak on some scales I started last middle of Oct. Basically, to check the moisture, too. Things are a little slower than last year with not as many bulblets forming. The mother scales are still pretty solid--tho they were big to start with. Keep in mind too, that not all cultivar scales form bublets at the same rate--same for bublet count. I caught a couple close to the surface for a quick photo. I suspect there's quite a few more down in there. I don't like digging around anymore than just finding out what I want to know. But, overall, they're doing OK. Oh-- the ones my Grandaughter started last year--we set those out in her garden this last Oct. They did just fine--have no Idea what they are as they were loose scales but no junk, that much I do know.
