Very cool! You would never tell them from hardnecks!

Svalli did you ever think about growing out the bulbils? In tomatoes, environmental stresses affect gene expression and bring out the plants ability to withstand the stress... so it should be the same in garlic, that the bulbils produced by stress would be expressing some stress resistance that might help the plant to survive. Or perhaps these softnecks are already well adapted for you? Mine here are doing worst of all, I may give up growing them after this year. I enjoy braiding them, but I prefer the hardnecks in all other ways.
