Default Garlic Bulbils for the Adventurous

Thanks to my incomplete removal of scapes from hardneck garlic this summer,
I have a number of bulbils-the little topset bulblets that grow on top of
the foliage. They're a good way to add new varieties without worries over
soil borne diseases, but need to be grown in pots over winter, and fussed
over outdoors the next summer. Depending on size (they vary from pea to
grain of rice), it may take 2 or 3 years to get to a full-sized garlic
bulb. Quantities from a half-dozen to 30 or more, depending on variety;
yours for, say $3 to cover padded envelope and postage.

I have:

Carpathian
Chesnok Red
Elmer's Topset
German Red
German White
GSF#65
Marino
Metechi
Music
Nirvana Weird
Romanian Red
Spanish Roja
Transylvanian

Email if you want any, so I can reduce the clutter ever so slightly.
