Secondly, I had some Persian Star and Chesnok Red, that are running a week later than the porcelains in terms of scape time, but the leaves are yellowing and going down faster. Mostly at 4 or 5 green leaves already, but the green has a fair bit of yellowing too. I'm sure they won't be ready until next week, but here's a pic of the scapes as they look now, kind of a shepherd's crook shape.
Also, Henry gave me advice about these Purple Stripes, that they can size up a lot in the last week. So I don't want to hurry them and maybe I will have to leave them until they have less than 4 green? Not sure. They are looking the same in two different beds, so it's their natural response to these weather conditions, not a problem with the place grown.
