dug may chamiskuri this afternoon

tjg911 · July 3, 2010

since about 25% were tipping over i decided to dig the chamiskuri (softneck) today rather than any other day this week since it's going to be 167 degrees with 1000% humidity starting on sunday going thru friday, maybe saturday and all next week too who knows cuz they stopped with friday 7/9.

several bulbs are as big as music but a few are quite small, the other 40 are good sized 2 1/2" to 3". several bulbs have bust their wrapper not good for storage but i'll use those for seed if i decide to grow this variety a 2nd year.

the other 176 plants are hardnecks, korean red, german red, german white and music. they have their bottom leaves starting to dry, turning lighter green/yellowish/brownish. i'd guess these will be ready to dig in 7-14 days putting them about 2-3 weeks ahead of normal.
