Ah, maybe I can learn what I need to know here, among the garlic-knowers!
I planted Georgian Crystal last fall and it has done very well. It's growing in two areas -- just a few plants in each, mind, this is a backyard garden so I'm not talking about rows, really.
Anyway, one little group has started the leaf-browning. All well and good. But neither group is producing scapes! Is this a problem? The group with the browning leaves hasn't reached that halfway stage yet; so maybe there is still time for scapes to form. The other, non-browning group is also a bit smaller in plant height. Both had lots of enrichment prep done to the soil and good mulching.
but no scapes? I'm not that interested in the scapes for themselves, just want to know if there's a problem if the plants don't ever produce them!
