Should I take the the flower stalks out or not in order to get the

Removing the scapes will put more energy into the bulbs. How much it
matters depends on your soil fertility, moisture, phase of the moon....
In my location (northeastern U.S.) with regular hardneck garlic, it matters
a lot.

I'm wondering about removing the stalks, too.
Having sixty plants, I might leave half of them on - to see what
difference it makes.
Has anyone tried that already?
