on wednesday i looked at my garlic and a lot of it has scapes, 1 plant already had a full curl already.

in 2011 i did not record when i cut scapes, in 2010 i cut scapes 6/8, 2009 6/20 and 6/25, prior years no record. so it seems that this is not early really.

i am digging garlic earlier with each passing year. since 2007 is the 1st year i grew garlic it seems that was a late year and not the norm as i have remembered.
dug garlic:
2011 7/5 and 7/13
2010 7/7
2009 7/17
2008 7/19 and 7/22
2007 7/26.
