Actually, I had one double as well... I grow in rows of six across in my 4' beds, and 108 is very neatly divisible by six! Just as I was finishing up today, I got the flash flood warning alert on my phone for Friday.

They are all now trimmed and hanging in the basement. A couple of years ago I discovered that if I allowed them to dry just enough to brush the dirt off, trimmed the roots to about an inch, and cut all the green leaves down to about 5-6 inches, they would dry and cure without me having to touch them again until they were ready for use or replanting.

I grew out some bulbils for the first time this year, but they didn't get very large. I am going to replant them in the fall and see if I get any significant size gain in year two.
