Margaret Thele 16 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 From an e-mail to Garden A to Z: After more poking about, I thought I would resend my question here. My beautiful garlic is standing in two inches of water. With more rain coming it will not dry out anytime soon. I am thinking it will rot. Can I possible salvage something by digging it up now which is three to four weeks early? It hasn’t begun to dry up. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margaret Thele 16 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 As garlic is a bulb your hunch is a good one. If it were me, I'd harvest the garlic now even though it is a bit early. If the bulbs sit wet they are in danger of rot. So I hope you see this answer and get a chance to salvage the crop! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
