Garlic failed again

Hi All,



Noe that I have good soil in my garlic bed, the garlic is growing the way it is suppose to.



I pulled two up today to look at them and they are covered in some powdery black stuff although the way through the wrappers into the cloves. ChatGPT thinks it is black mold (Aspergillus niger).



I presume I can not grow garlic in the bed ever again.



Dang!



I am going to switch to peppers next year.



Yours in Frustration,

I pulled out all my garlic and tossed it in the trash yesterday. What a pitiful end to trying to get garlic to grow for the past 10 years or so. And this time I finally got good bulb size too.
