They were planted ANZAC day but still expected atleast another month of growth. They're all falling over now and have some decent browning going on.
What do you all reckon? Cut my losses and pull em up or leave em a bit longer?
The soil is pretty wet and has been for about a week, but I'm not sure. First time growing them and they Only came from pretty small stock so I'm not expecting miracles 😅

My garlic usually ripens much later in the year, around November. Could these be waterlogged?
Where abouts are you? In Central Vic I plant in mid May and harvest late November/early December. At this time of year I add some liquid manure. I had to water last week because there has been any rain. Is the soil dry?
Maybe pull one up and have a look just in case they are rotting
Any globe onions are one thing I’ve never had any decent success with, lucky they’re only a couple bucks per kilo at the shop.
If you want to grow something in this family that’s rewarding and will save some money, spring onions, chives and garlic are my go-to’s.
If you’re in a frost free location and keep the weeds away, they’re real easy. And the spring onions and chives you just cut off at ground level and they re-grow very quickly, my spring onion patch has been going for at least four years.
I had these small garden planters for a little bit, found out way too late that they didn’t drain at all. The legs had blocked with soil and everything was just dying.
I chucked mine, but best check that.
