I miscalculated. The Sonora and Shilla showed signs this afternoon of being ready to dig, so I dug up four of the five segments of them. I will give that last segment another day and then dig it. I have it hanging in the greenhouse where it will stay for two weeks and cure. Some has scapes , most don't. So those two varieties are leading the hardneck pack. I still have Russian Red, Russian Giant, Purple Glazier, and Maiskij hardneck in the ground as well as all the softneck and Creole. Those other three hardneck varieties are not quite ready.
