hi, could any one tell me at what stage a garlic plant will start to
form a bulb? we planted some out in oct, all looks good on top but
having dug one up just to be nosey noticed it looked more like a spring
onion,when do they split to form cloves? are we just wasting our time
leaving them in or is there time yet? mid july -aug to harvest. many
thanks

Should have bulbed up by now, a good suggestion as to what is underneath is
the thickness of the stem as it comes out of the ground, the thicker the
better. Have you been feeding and watering them if you haven't had any
decent rain? Been watering ours every couple of days since March just done
them again this morning.
