I’ve always used bulbils to grow out my garlic, figure it’s more economical to replant the rounds and resulting small cloves every year than having to keep back a percentage of what I’ve grown.
I’m convinced that it gives the garlic a chance to acclimate to my growing conditions and growing out from bulbils seems to reinvigorate the plants – there have been studies undertaken on this so it’s not just anecdotal.
Your harvest looks great! Only just finished planting down in the southern hemisphere – last count was just over 400. Enough to share with family and keep us in fresh, dehydrated, fermented and pickled garlic

How many years does it take for you to get a nice bulb, growing from bulbils? I have tried on several occasions and never succeed.
