i started to cut scapes around 6/3, today i cut the last. there are 2 plants with 4" straight scapes so they'll be another week but 99% of the hardnecks are done. all the garlic has the lower 2 sets of leaves dying back. the lowest are very small leaves and at ground level, the other set is the 1st real large leaves that are showing any drying out. i guess it will be a week maybe 2 weeks before harvest. the softnecks show no signs of tipping over.
