Galic With So Many Leaves.
I am neither a novice nor an expert when it comes to growing garlic.
PROBLEM Better than 90% of my galics have very many leaves. Off the bat I know that the clove are separated an each clove has its own stem. Now, I planted my seeds around mid November. We had pretty cold winter. Some nights it dropped to teens. My seeds came from WM. They were reall nice big garlic with big cloves and they were hard necks. Anyway, my harvest time is months away. I pull one now and then for cooking. The clove are separated and of good size. And I guess they are still getting bigger. My concern is storage. Separated cloves don,t store well and I have 100 garlic plants. So really my situation is irreversuble. I just want to know the cause of this growth pattern. Maybe rhere are others with similar problem !?
