Garlic problem this year

10 years ago

Hello, friends

I grow garlic for a few years, have a good harvest with nice sized bulb, but this year, I have no idea what had happened, 90% of my garlic top are yellow and fell down like 2 week ago, I dug out a few, tiny small bulbs, I have music, and those use to be a large bulb, now is only half inch baby bulb, the whole bed of shandong with XIan are disappear, the seed I purchase online garlic farm.
Is any one in my zone area have same issue or just me?
I feel so bad about it. I am not sure if I can use it as seed for next year.

Help please
Thank in advance
Wendy

Sounds like it may be the aster yellows issue Little Minnie has been talking about on her posts.
Where are you located?

Wendy,
Hmm. Thats nowhere near where minnie lives in regards to the aster yellows problem. Actually, you might live close where I grew up (little neck).

You still might want to look into aster yellows and see if the symptoms seem familiar.

Other than that, as said, a photo might help when you get a chance.
