One month after planting the vernalized and potted garlic plants to the field, the fall planted ones have grown bigger than the spring ones. Beginning of summer has been colder than normal and also quite dry. The dryness has been bad for the spring planted ones, so the plants lost the lower leaves. I'm sure that it will affect negatively on the bulb size. The ones which I planted this spring to my small raised beds here in the city are doing much better, because I got them in earlier and have been able to water them.
