Hello,

I have some garlic growing but some of the stems have been bent either
by the wind or an animal. I notice the plat appears to be growing
cloves at the point where the stem has been bent. Has anyone noticed
this before? Why does it happen? What should I do? Is the plant
damaged: do I need to harvest it now, or will it continue to grow?

Thanks.

My garlic was harvested about a month ago. It's spectacular, having had
dried chicken poo applied to the soil. Massive juicy cloves ;-))
I've peeled and frozen some, the rest are hanging from the beams in my
kitchen.
