Hi, the majority of my garlic is laying on the ground, the tips of the leaves are drying up, and when I checked on one of the bulbs the stem right above the bulb was flimsy. Am I under watering it or is it something else?

Is the bed in all-day, full sun?

#### Pvpaardvark respondió el 2024-05-26

It gets morning through noon of full sunlight and partial sunlight during the afternoon hours from a tree blocking most of the sunlight

#### Chrissy respondió el 2024-05-26

Unfortunately, It needs full sun or you’re not going to get the results you want.

Ok, thanks for the response

I thought 6+ hours of direct sun is considered full sun?

#### Chrissy respondió el 2024-05-26

Garlic needs at least 6 full hours to moderately grow but 8-10 for full thriving. It would be better if it got 6 hours of afternoon sun because it’s much more intense.
