BULBILS
|
|
| Hardneck
garlic flowers (scapes) produce clusters of miniature "bulbs", which while
not true seed, serve essentially the same purpose. A bulbil planted in the
fall (spring) will produce tasty garlic shoots in the spring (early summer).
If the plants are left to grow through the first season, they will produce
small bulbs,with small cloves, or even single cloves called "rounds". Harvest them when the plants are largley, but not entirely, brown. These in turn can be replanted,
and will produce regular bulbs in year two. See
How to Grow Garlic
for planting details. A economical way to
do hardnecks! Also, you can now order baby green garlic, greenhouse grown from bulbils, and available all year long.
