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


Mine were damaged by fox activity some weeks ago. Tops are pretty
much dead. I lifted about half of them. The bulbs are small but
flavourful. Will lift the rest tomorrow - assuming that it isn't
raining too hard.
