Are they OK to eat and will they store? (I'm pretty sure they are, but
SWMBO wants reassurance!)

It has been a funny year for garlic.
Amongst the odder ones I have seen a

a single garlic clove has grown into a small round onion shape.

some have nice flowers on, and some have a similar structure but with a
host of small bulbs instead of flowers at the top.

These are all mainstream garlics growing in a clay soil.

The onions by comparison have been well behaved and are fattening up
nicely. Trace of blight on the spuds though
