They are growing just fine and are definitely not ready for pulling yet, so I am just leaving them be - a bit of a mess in the garden (I like things tidy!) but otherwise I think they are fine. My softnecks are standing tall but they are not as "tall" as the hardnecks are.<br /><br />Your garden is looking beautiful - even if it is in transition.

From what I have read, when they flop over and start turning brown they are ready for harvest.

Whether this is actually what happened I'm still not sure. Some of my bulb rotted but some were absolutely fine.Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-71266513476041021482012-06-16T21:26:53.148-04:002012-06-16T21:26:53.148-04:00Hi!

He can't run much because he will run smack into something! It has happened on many occasion. I have tried to put him on a diet. But, then Miss Banana get too thin and she won't get up on anything to eat.

...Yes we are and thanks for asking...ditto to you!<br /><br />Kale usually likes the cool weather. This kale has been going strong since last year! Yes, herbs can be put in late. They grow like weeds. I put in a new rosemary, a variegated thyme, marjoram and curry just this past week. They should do just fine. <br /><br />Our winds came from the other direction....so, who knows what's up with that garlic.<br /><br />I'm hoping I mislabeled that one tomato when I planted it out. Since "The Italian" loves to have an Eva's for breakfast in the morning. If not, I have 6 planted at the plots.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-38208628010120274802012-06-16T19:32:38.412-04:002012-06-16T19:32:38.412-04:00Your garden looks beautiful!
