Three years ago I sowed a couple of garlic seeds I got from some school project my wife was involved in. I have no idea what the variety is. I just transplanted the sprouts into my garden like I do tomato seedlings. I have never harvested or done any cultivating on the garlic, but now I have dozens of flowering garlic stems and they drop seeds like crazy. I have them with leeks, chives and some oregano and I just let them all go crazy. The bees love them when the flowers are blooming.
Now I am wishing I had harvested some but I guess they have bolted since the flowers are dry and dropping seeds....right? The plants' leaves are still quite green. Does anybody know what the bulbs would be like if I dug some up at this late stage?
Thanks
Charley
