Garlic?

[ness]

We plant it each fall from cloves from the previous harvest. We still have four heads left from last summer-they have stored really well.
About ready to harvest this year’s.

I planted in spring.  Looks like I need to try again this fall.

And they don’t like wet feet.

            I actually think my wild patch would maybe be larger head if not for being in a low wetter area.

Yours looks like what I have here at the raised bed, short and spindly.  I was thinking taller and head on stalk like the wild stuff.  I may need to dig one here and see what it looks like.

The farm was wet, and choked out with weeds.

You may have soft neck garlic, which doesn’t get the thick stem. 

They’re probably ready to dig if the leaves are dying back whether soft or hard neck. 

Dug my Hardneck today. Down to a shelf in the basement where the dehumidifier is to cure for a few weeks now.

Yes I planted Hard Neck. 

I also planted Onions from seed actually I planted them late Winter in the Greenhouse. Kept them cut back to 5 inches. 

You want Long Day Onion Seed. 

Best Onions I've ever had.
