Looks good bower!
Have you dug the soil above the bulb to see how the cloves and wrappers are looking?

When I pulled my garlic, some of the scapes had already straightened totally, but quite many were still drooping down. I count the remaining leaves to indicate the amount of wrappers around the bulb. Many times the the wrapper of the lowest green leaf is already breaking down, so with four mostly green leaves you would get three good wrappers for the storage. If you have dry weather, you could still maybe wait a bit, but if it is going to rain a lot, I would pull the garlic before the rain.
