Here are some quick shots.
2 points I want to make first as far as things that stood out:
One: in my 1st year experience, in my soil and climate, growing Music and Romanian Red, leaving scapes on ABSOLUTELY reduced bulb size. Not even a doubt. Luckily I only left a few for readiness indicators.
Two, the majority of my beds were covered with landscape fabric. A couple of the beds ran short by 5-10'. Those uncovered areas were miserable to dig. Had to jump on the fork with both feet. The areas that were previously covered was like a hot knife through butter. The fork pushed down easily with one foot as deep as it could go with minimal effort.
I think this was do to the amount of worm activity where there was cover (there were castings everywhere). I've always noticed they are attracted to covered surfaces. Looks like it works for synthetic covers, not just organic mater. Perhaps it is more a function of sunlight not hitting the surface.
Also, there were no weed roots to push through.
Anyway, here are some shots:
