Hardneck garlic tends to be more cold hardy, so these varieties are more commonly grown in Maine than softnecks. They have larger but fewer cloves per bulb, and are usually easier to peel.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;hardneck&#8221; refers to the false flowering stalks that these types form, giving the bulbs a hard central neck. This provides one of the great perks of growing garlic in New England &#8211; garlic scapes! Scapes are forming at scouting locations in southern Maine now, and should be ready for harvest within the next week or two.<\/p>\n<p>As scapes grow, they will form a curly cue shape, and then straighten back out to point upright if left on the plant. To harvest them, wait until fully curled, and then clip right below the curl. While an umbel containing bulbils will otherwise eventually form at the end of the scape, these are far inferior for planting than actual cloves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, should you harvest scapes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Harvesting scapes has been found to improve bulb size, as it diverts plant energy from &#8220;seed&#8221; production at the end of the scape to bulb development. That said, the degree to which yield is improved is variable (commonly 15-20%) and so may not always be worth the labor. In the home garden, harvesting scapes makes sense. For commercial farms, harvesting scapes can be worthwhile if there is a market for them. If there is no market or use for the scapes, weighing the harvest labor against the potential yield increase to find the most economic option is recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>Pest Situation<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"12300\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12300 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of garlic leaf showing a tiny thrip and the scarring caused by the thrip.\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-838x1024.jpg 838w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-768x939.jpg 768w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-105x128.jpg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-317x388.jpg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-423x517.jpg 423w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-634x775.jpg 634w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-846x1034.jpg 846w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3-951x1163.jpg 951w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/06\/unnamed-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,245px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thrips (yellow arrow) on garlic leaf with scarring; photo by Peyton Ginakes (UMaine Cooperative Extension).

All locations were well under the threshold of 1 to 3 per leaf, but populations are expected to increase soon with the warmer weather this week and next. Now is the time to be sure you have appropriate control products on hand.<\/p>\n<p>In Maine, all locations except Cutler and Katahdin have accumulated sufficient growing degree days for thrips to emerge. As a reminder, scout for thrips by closely inspecting leaf folds, along midveins, and where leaves meet. The first thrips of the season are adults and therefore tend to be darker in color. You may also see some feeding injury, which appears as white, streaky scarring.<\/p>\n<div>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;background-color: #eeeeee\" border=\"1\">\n<caption>\n<h4><strong>Thrips Scouting Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Scouting Location<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Thrips (per leaf)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Buxton<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0.06<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Monmouth<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0.04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Topsham<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0.01<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Washington<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0.05<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite favorable conditions, the spread of <strong>botrytis leaf blight<\/strong> within scouted fields has slowed in recent weeks and new growth is generally healthy with lesions under the 1 per leaf threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Older leaves are beginning to <strong>die back<\/strong>, which is normal, but it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between healthy and diseased dieback.
