A tuning note on this: If you choose to run straight manifold vacuum to your vacuum advance in order to gain the additional timing advance at idle, you must select a vacuum advance control unit that pulls in all of the advance at a vacuum level 2â below (numerically less than) the manifold vacuum present at idle.
To avoid these diseases plant only healthy cloves, manage weeds in the garden, and take care not to injure garlic bulbs while working in the garden. Plant garlic in an area where no onions, chives, leeks, shallots or garlic have been planted for the past 4 years.
Your garlic should be ready around September, the bulbs will be small but you will get some harvest. Garlic is ready when 2/3 of the leaves have turned yellow. Garlic does most of it's root/bulb growth after the equinox and before the solstice which is why spring planted garlic doesn't size up well.
