garlic dieback

Ok I planted garlic in the spring they did well until about 2 weeks ago when the leaves started drying out. Now almost my entire bed of garlic is flopped over looking very dead. Are they lost? Do I pull them? Leave them to sprout next year? Help!!!
Thanks |

| Sifuz, Dig one up so you can see what it's looking like. I don't know much about planting in the spring as it's usually planted in the fall. Harvest time is when there is 4 green leaves on the plants and the bottom three are dead and dried up. if you left them in the ground you would find a clump of garlic growing there next year...you don't want that. |

| Ok I dug 2 up and they are a little bigger than the ones I planted in march. What would be the down side of leaving them in ground until next fall? |

| no idea but the down side is planting in the spring - you see the results, planting is in the fall. tom |
