Here are a couple of healthy bulbs and one “soft” bulb. You can’t see it very well but there are shades of green mold and a wine colored fungus or mold growing around (consuming) the last of the remaining white healthy bulb tissue in the bulb I split in two. We dug these with a backhoe and when you damage the basil plate or crush the bulbs when digging we often get this type of rot in the bulbs.
I actually had a hard time finding one of these bad bulbs yesterday. Snow flakes or snow drops are pretty hardy and this was the only one out of the 1,400 that we replanted that was “bad”.
These bulbs are sitting in the bottom of my storage trays. They are actually old perforated metal trays from an egg hatchery. They are 3″ deep 16″ wide (.5 Meter) by 39″ long (1 meter). We had three trays left over this year or just less than 500 per tray. Keith Kridler
