i trimmed those last bulbs in the aug 1 post. out of 27 bulbs 13 had burst their wrappers! i don't know what to think. the 1st 1/2 of this variety (gauger's music) had 1 burst bulb out of 35 or so bulbs where the 27 i trimmed today had 13 that burst their wrapper! it seems that leaving them in for an extra 12 days was the reason. i will say the cloves are ginormous so i'm not surprised the wrappers were burst! these burst bulbs will be the seed stock for this variety.

also my german red is not as bad as i stated. most bulbs are good sized and i have some really large cloves for seed. i will grow german red again i just have to eat this variety and korean red 1st as they don't store as long as german white and music.
