Thank you for the pics. I was looking for a nearby comparison. I'm about 120 mi north of Seaford, by crow. You say those pics are three days before harvest and you suspect harvest was a week early on that type.
Mine is starting to look a bit yellowed at tips, not crinkled brown like those tops yet. I think it is time, maybe past time, for me to scrape back the wood chips and let them start drying out. I have been weeding so maybe most wood chips are already scraped off. Maybe next week I dig a couple up to check them. They are raised a bit but it has been so wet, plus the main bed is below the outlet for some gutters. Also, they may be a bit too tightly planted, lots of leaves crossing/grabbing each other now. Not perfect like yours, and not much early morning sun due to the fence/trees. I broke the scapes a few days after I noticed them, and most have about a 8-12" blind scape grown out since then. I think I saw a few in your pics as well.
What is the reason for the short trimming, and would it apply to small garden and long term storage?
