Noticed black mold while trimming up my harvest of Kettle River softneck garlic today. Been growing garlic 6 yrs now, trying different types. So disappointed, plants were big, bulbs came out huge, looked great. Cured in shade, then inside with a fan when temps got hot. What did I do wrong? Only thing I can think of is not restricting watering soon enough before harvest? Soil was not moist.
