Tiny "Klingons" on my garlic
I dug up a couple of my elephant garlic today (baseball-sized, thank
you very much) and discovered three or four tiny, hard nodules attached to each. These nodules are yellower than the rest of the bulb, they are super-hard, but they smell and taste like garlic ought to. They look like tiny individual garlic cloves, but they aren't interspersed with the rest of the cloves; they are more or less simply attached to the outside of the bulb proper. What the hell are these things? Can I plant them? Mark |

They store well. Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at www.albany.net/~gwoods Zone 5/6 in upstate New York, 1200' elevation. NY WO G |
