My hard necked garlic is now flowering - when should I harvest it please?
I cut off the 'flowers' and wait until the leaves go yellow.
I'd dig one up now and see if the bulb's a decent size.
I got my garlics up 2-3 weeks ago when they started to die back. My hardnecks I cut of the flower scapes when they were still bent over buds, and made pesto out of them :) They then start to ripen and I dug them a couple of weeks later.
