Is my garlic ready to harvest?

Hi all!

This is my first year growing garlic. I planted them in October of last year and they have been growing like mad ever since. I pulled a test garlic last month and they did not seem ready. However, I have some other ones that seem like they are bursting at the seams and ready to harvest. I included a picture of one of them that I pulled today and photos of the 3 beds.

My thoughts:

I think bed 1 can go for longer maybe harvest next month.

Bed 2 is throwing me off. I see a lot of yellow and I’m thinking they may be dying back and I need to pick them. But they have recently been pushing out new leaves(?) they have been crinkly like they can’t get out well. This is also the bed of one I pulled.

Bed 3 seems ready to go if not over harvest time. I’m not seeing too much new growth but there has been a little. This bed has been a giant question mark in comparison to the others. Most obviously the size difference. There is also a lump forming in some of these which I have no idea what’s happening there either.

I know garlic normally is harvested around May/June, but with how they are looking, I feel they may be ready now. I live in zone 9B. This is 2 different types of garlic but they are both soft neck

Should I follow procedure and wait the month out or pull now based on what I’m seeing? Any guidance would be super helpful! Thanks!!
