Hi All.  Since no one chimed in.... my feeling is that fertilizing pushes vegetative growth.  If they're just scaping they're done with that and I don't think fertilizer at this point will help with bulb size.  I side dressed mine about six weeks ago here in southeastern mass.  They're up to my waist, and looking like scapes should appear any minute, but not yet.

I'd like to hear if someone has a more informed opinion.

Looks like we will start harvesting scapes from our hard neck garlic this week.  Should I side dress one more time or just ride it out til time to dig?
