RE: Covering up the garlic for the winter

in HiveGardenlast month

Eventually they should really start to curl on you into scapes. Then you can cut the tops off so that the plant can focus on growing the bulb underground. Mine didn't work out quite that way, but I have been told that's how it's supposed to work!

Ah yeah, maybe that was happening in late autumn.. Or maybe just curling from the cold.. not sure.

I think next spring/summer I will need to cut off the scapes.

They are tasty roasted with a bit of butter and pepper. That was about the only thing productive I got out of my attempt at garlic.
