Do you see direct? I do a combination of sew and transplant to kick off the year.
I find if i sew early with peas and onions and such I can get a head start on my short season.

This is our second season trying our hand at gardening. Last year, we did ok but only really did well with potatoes, lettuce, kale. All our onions died, carrots were very minimal, only a handful of cucumbers & peppers, and no beef tomatoes due to a round of blight in the area. Lots of people didn’t get tomatoes last year. First year, couldn’t really complain. We showed onion sets and the rest seeds.
We got the garlic bulbs in the ground last fall, and sowed more onion sets and seed for everything else this spring. Tomato plants we just buy about 1’ tall from our local farmers market.
Everything is doing very well this year, with the exception of this larvae problem on the garlic. Hoping it’s nothing serious, because that garlic is damn good!
You’re killing it.
You’re garlic will be delicious this year a d next 🤜
Did a bit more research, turns out it’s called leek moth. That’s the larvae we have on the garlic
Perhaps I’ll just take a walk through my patch and kill all the little suckers.

I just picked up the BTK spray and sprayed the garlic, spraying onions to be safe. Spray the buggers!!! 
Try some Castile soap (dr.bronners), and red chili powder or chili powder oil and it keeps buggers off, mix with water and it’s cool for plants too 🫶🫶✌️
Atta boy.
I just ran through my garden and squished everything i found. Removed a few scapes. But gonna try it this way. If i notice more Tomorrow than today. The spray will be bought.
Let me know how it works out
Hey dude.
Wondering how you made out with your garlic so far?
I didn’t do anything to mine asides from hand squishing and removing manually that day we bounced off each other.
I hadn’t been back since. And now taking a look.
The leek moths are still there. But not as bad as it could be. 75% of my crop have scapes
Mornin☕️
I actually squished all that I could find, then sprayed with the btk and then covered the garlic and all the onions with a mesh.
I actually just cut all the scapes off yesterday. 🤙🏼
Would you happen to know what these are? I planted a row of kale, but these 2 both started growing also. One root is like a yellow/white and the other is a purple tone.
