I haven't pulled scapes, and it will rain on and off most of this week. Should I wait?



Here are three photos from today. Quite the eyesore compared to Tom's garden!


I needed a few cloves for cooking. I pulled a few bulbs from the lower part where I planted the leftover smaller cloves. We had a great deal of rain this past week, They certainly are moist, not dried out and papery like it is when I usually pull in July. I was also not expecting them to be so white.



How much patience shall I employ till I pull the main section?
