Hi All,
My three hold over garlic plants from last year,
on their center spires have a curly-Q. And what looks
like the start of a flower pointing downward.
Is this normal?
Also, somewhere I heard to bend and tie the
flowers over to send the energy down to the
bulb. Anything to that?

To "send energy down to the bulb" -- actually, to improve the bulb's
vigor -- cut off the flowers.
