Talkback: Harvesting garlic - Page 2

i planted garlic bulds september last. they are about 4inches high now. some have about 4 green stems, should i seperate these and replant. also i had a plant that went 2 seed, i scattered the seeds and a year later i see small plants growing. is this normal.

If you leave a bulb of garlic in the ground by accident it will start to shoot, so you'll get a cluster of new bulbs trying to grow in a space far too tiny. If you plant the entire bulb (as I suspect you did?) then the same will happen. The individual cloves need to be separated off from the bulb and planted separately. Growing in a clump as your as they will not do well, so although it is late to separate autumn garlic now, I'd have a go, then replant each clove about 5in apart...and perhaps buy yourself some spring planting garlic now, separate this in to cloves and plant asap, as I suspect the autumn re-planted won't do as well as it could have.

Thanks for the info about growing garlic. You find out in the link bellow some of the great ways to use garlic as a home remedie: http://thegarlicgarlic.blogspot.com/p/how-can-you-use-garlic-as-home-remedies.html
