Alright DD. I'm sold on Melody garlic as well. Do they ALWAYS scape? Not all of mine are -- The ones I'm growing are NY White and German Pink which are supposed to be well adapted to NY and presumably NJ region.

I'll have to research Melody and see if I have good chance of success with them. Definitely another candidate for my FRont Yard Edible Landscaping Project. :()

applestar,

"MUSIC" not melody, you goof. :D

NY White is a softneck and will not have scapes.
German Pink is a hardneck and it should.


I've read that only hardnecks have scapes. If this is not true, someone please correct me. :idea:

Oh, right. :oops:

I believe this is right.

And It is my onions that are flowering not my garlic. :shock:
