What a bummer Buds :(

I know that it was growing tall and strong and healthy-looking a few weeks back - I saw it! And I know you've been away for...what?...2 weeks? Here in B'ham I've not watered mine at all...we've had a recent v. hot spell - other than that, it was weather as usual. Mine is just starting to die off. How was it for you while you were away?  Have you pulled any to have a look-see? Any you pull you can cook as green/wet garlic so nothing lost there, I'd say. So have a look, see what you've got - and come back and tell us?

Fingers crossed for you,

Lish

 Garlic seems to be ok, ;D small so we have left it in just pulled about 4 up looks as though it needs a few more weeks yet. It only rained once while we were away so maybe it just dried up above ground.
