I think that the ones which have the stems lying on the ground will not grow much more, so I will dig them up next time I go there. There were couple which were still erect, but without scape, so those may stay longer. I heard that Primor can sometimes grow like a softneck variety, so some of these may still divide.

Earlier years I have harvested hardecks on second week of August. This year May was so warm, that harvest could be a week or two earlier.

I discussed online with a commercial garlic grower, who has planted Primor from cloves, which he purchased from France and those have now nine leaves and a scape. Maybe the cloves, which I grew myself, were quite small and If I planted these rounds, they would grow to divided bulbs. After harvest I have to decide what to do. Maybe I will not save any of this variety for planting to make room for the hardier ones.
