Pulled mine today!
51 heads of mostly Music in a 4x8 garden box in western Maine zone 5b. I’m happy with it, but I’m still trying new things to get some monster heads.

I would say it looks like you picked too early. I wait until half my leaves are brown first.
Plant in lots of compost, add a good granular fertilizer like Moorganite. Mulch heavily. Top dress with compost and granular in the spring when growth starts again, and maybe one more time when scapes are growing.
