Default Garlic growth

What can I do with these? Do I dig them up and plant them elsewhere or
leave them? If I do leave them where they are, will they grow into large
bulbs again?


You'll get whole bunch of small bulbs, because each clove will make a bulb.
You can try to separate and replant some, but the loss of roots and growing
time will still make smaller than normal bulbs. If you don't want them for
seed garlic in the fall, just pull and use like scallions-these are a big
deal in Asian markets.
