I have a bunch of little garlic plants growing in my garden in October … Is there any chance they will come back next year?
Is there any chance they will grow inside the house if I bring a couple of them in?
Any recommendations or is it a lost cause?

thanks for your help

My garlic has a “bulb” on the top that has little purple flowers on it. It almost looks like onion sets. What is this and could it be ready to pick already? I live on Ohio and planted it in November.

Last fall I planted 30 garlic cloves of 6 different types. The earth was loam & peat moss and covered with straw. The plants grew and I cut off the scapes. The plant leaves turned brown so I harvested the garlic. All 30 cloves range from 1″ to 1 1/2″ in diameter. Why are they so small?

Planted silverskin garlic in October and have had a mild, wet winter. The first three leaves on my plants are dead, the top leaves are beginning to brown (it’s mid-May), so I thought it was time to dig up. Surprise! No bulbs, just plants that look like green onions. As I was careful not to damage the roots when digging up, I put the plants back, but would like to know if I tried to harvest too early or if they’re not going to form bulbs at all.
