I've dealt with this before, but I'm too brain dead right now to remember, so I'd appreciate someone reminding me....

Growing garlic had it's tops beat down by hail. I thought it would bounce up, it hasn't. We have had a LOT of rain, that area eroded. There are green colored bulbs sticking up from or just sitting on the ground.

Do I need to harvest them or just cover them back up?

Are they soft or hard necked?

If hard I think it would be better to harvest (or leave for green garlic in fall). They are beginning to go dormant in these parts anyway. I haven’t grown much soft necked but suspect they may be different.

The green is due to exposure to the exposure to the sun.

If you decide to leave them in the ground to grow on, cover them deeply.

I honestly don't recall. They have been there for a few years and haven't been harvested.

THERE we go! THAT is what I was forgetting. Thank you!
I knew I had dealt with this before....

Hard necked garlic would have given you scapes by now. Soft necked would still be leafy without a defined stem.

The green parts were beaten to death by hail. They didn't bounce back, I thought they would.
