Default wind blew down some of my garlic

Hi All,

We had a big wind some through a few weeks ago and blew
down several of my garlic plants. I just left them alone,
but the tops just went brown. (Had I know, I would have
picked the tops, they are yummy.)

Will the ever grow back or should I just dig them up?


they will form a smaller bulb with whatever energy
is left that they can redirect from the green stuff.

i picked some garlic a few weeks ago and left it
to dry out in the sun. today i was in that garden
and the stalks were laying there so i picked them up
and pulled them apart and there was a small bulb at
the bottom in there that would regrow if given a
chance.

likely if you dig up those plants there will be a
small bulb under there, with one or more cloves... it
will come back.
