Okay, so I've been becoming increasingly concerned over the fact that the leaves on my "Music" garlic, in particular, are showing a lot of yellowing...



I don't normally harvest my garlic until at least the end of July, but truthfully it is quite conceivable that they do this every year and I've just never really noticed it Shrug!

So I dug up a couple of the plants today to see if there was something going on below ground -- maggots, rot, or whatever -- but as far as I can see, the (immature) bulbs look just fine



Maybe too much rain ? (It's been fairly rainy lately, but not extraordinarily so, I wouldn't say; and the garden has very good drainage, never any standing water or the like.) Or maybe it's basically nothing ? I guess time will tell, at least I'm happy that nothing really seems to be attacking the bulbs.
