Rogue and cull

Late spring/early summer is a great time to look over your garlic. Anything that looks off, or stunted, should be rogued/culled out and discarded. Don’t bother to compost them as there shouldn’t be too many and you don’t want to keep any potential issues around. In a few weeks after they scape you should do a second round. Often a problem can show up at that time that wasn’t there before. Keep your fields and seed stock clean before harvest and you will have great seed to save for years to come.
