cutting off flowers of garlic plant
Comments (13)There is really no question that prompt removal of the scapes increases the eventual bulb size for most BUT not necessarily all varieties of hardneck garlic. Last year I had two patches of a rocambole, one with the scapes removed and one not. The one with the scapes removed produced bulbs twice the size of the other one, with identical treatment. OTOH This year I got very nice bulbs from my Japanese without removing a scape. Planting the largest cloves also produces the largest bulbs, virtually always better than bulbils and/or rounds often by a good two years. That is one of the easiest ways to improve one's own stock....See MoreShould I cut the 'toe' off of my new baby banana plant?

Comments (10)for background on Dawn and tool cleaning - Source linked below. "What practical measure can be taken to eliminate the virus if it can be transmitted by my tools or via infected soil? All three tested methods of decontamination including, household detergent (Dawn), 70% alcohol solution, and 10% household bleach solution were effective at eliminating infectivity of the virus. The decontamination process required intense scrubbing and cleaning of tools, hands, and pots to remove plant material, soil and sap. It is not enough to simply dip tools in cleaning solution. Tools must be scrubbed free of all dirt and debris." Paul Here is a link that might be useful: Hosta Virus X: New Information dated January 1, 2011...See Moregreenb212
