Harvested my garlic today as the foliage was dry and dying back rapidly. All grown from Franchi stock, in modules early this year and planted out in March in the same bed.
The white garlic is perfect….good sized bulbs and no problems, but all of the red garlic have mouldy outer skins, ? white rot? but the inner bulbs themselves are fine. I’ve had white rot in another bed but not this one before and the rot was far worse, all the bulbs were mushy so I’m not sure if it’s the same thing? I’ve stripped the outer casings off the red bulbs and put them on a rack separately and will try using them up those fresh….but I’m wondering why only that variety has been affected?
