curly-Qs on my garlic plants
Hi All,
My three hold over garlic plants from last year, on their center spires have a curly-Q. And what looks like the start of a flower pointing downward. Is this normal? Also, somewhere I heard to bend and tie the flowers over to send the energy down to the bulb. Anything to that? -T |

We look forward to them each spring. Boron |

Anything to that? -T To "send energy down to the bulb" -- actually, to improve the bulb's vigor -- cut off the flowers. -- David E.
