Part IV · Crop record 13
Garlic
Garlic was harvested August 17; early-spring planting produced small bulbs that mostly did not divide into cloves.
Growth timeline
The season in three field marks
Wet soil delayed harvest.
Bulbs lifted small and mostly undivided after early-spring planting.
Planting
Garlic occupied its own row in the compact plot and was already established when the spring garden record intensified.
Fertilization
The spring plan emphasized soil preparation and moderate nutrition rather than late feeding near bulb maturity.
Irrigation
Rain and drip irrigation supported growth; watering would taper as harvest and curing approached.
Pest history
No garlic pest was documented.
Harvest progression
Not yet harvested in the July 31 record. Readiness was being judged by browned lower leaves, not by onion timing.
Companion record
Garlic formed a distinct row near the root crops and fruiting beds.
Organic practices
Observation, weed control, careful moisture management, and curing preparation guided the crop.
Yield
Pending harvest; no bulbs counted yet.
