Reply To: Garlic harvest

[Allan Took]

Hi, I lifted my garlic this morning – about 50 bulbs, 3 or 4 different saved varieties. The crop was not brilliant but acceptable given a difficult year and it was autumn planted and no rust. However about half a dozen of the bulbs had produced a small clump of bulbils within the stem about 2 or 3 inches above the bulb. I have never seen this before and was curious to know why. Has anyone any experience of this ? I will try and post photos!
