I read the info on your site. My garlic greens are still quite green. I live in the northwest part of Washington state, not far south of Canada. Your site said most harvesting would be in July and August. Any advice?

November 2, 2011Q.Did Not Harvest Garlic
Hi, I planted my garlic last fall that my brother gave to me. I split it up in early spring and it grew and was looking great. One day in August, I went to the garden and the leaves had fallen over. I watered but nothing happened. I just left them alone until they were gone. Last week I went to the garden and noticed that my garlic had grown again, about 4 inches high. Do you think the new growth will be ok as far as the garlic tasting alright when I harvest it (now that I know when and how to)?

Certified ExpertA.It should be fine. You may find that there are many bulblets but they can be used just like garlic cloves.

Certified ExpertA.Use a phosphorus rich fertilizer (typically sold as "bloom booster" fertilizer) and fertilize them while the plants are green and growing You will want to stop fertilizing them after they begin to “bulb-up”.
