The cycle is:
Seeds (bulbils) plant in October.
Harvest Rounds in July of following year. Dry and plant in October.
Harvest in July of following year a bulb with four almost normal size cloves. Dry and plant in October.
Harvest a normal crop in July of the following year.
Always have some seeds (bulbils) growing and some rounds. Obtain new seeds (bulbils) by letting a few of the main crop produce some. This means all the garlic produced will be clones of the original and renewed every three years.
