Last spring my wife had some garlic bulbs that she was going to throw out, I seperated and planted the cloves and got nice plants that looked like an onion, nothing on top so I thought the bulbs must grow under ground, just doug up some and nothing except fine roots under ground. What Did I do wrong and how do I handle it When I plant some again? Going to try again next spring. Does it take 2 years to make a bulb?

here is a link to a adobe pdf file from cornell on everything you will ever need to know about garlic.i have always fall planted (colunbus day),although i tried spring planting a couple times with poor results.to plant it in the spring you have to force it to go dormant by keeping it at a low temp for a set amount of time,but all this and more is in the pdf file.did you remove any flowers that appeared? leaving the blossom on takes growth away from the bulb.

Here in California, I just planted mine today.

I used to plant on the shortest day and harvest on the longest.

It all started out from a couple bulbs that I picked up from the veggie stand down the street which I broke cloves off of and planted.

Now I like to get the cloves in a little earlier and harvest as the tops start to look poor. If it starts flowering those are clipped.

Once they have matured or are near ready, the water is reduced or they will rot away in soil.

When ready they are dug then dried.

I've tried cleaning and arranging in bunches by the starks then wrapping that with twine and hanging to fully dry. Warm dry garage. Talk about gloriously pungent. But now I just lay out on a big cyclone fence panel set on it's side on some big old tomato baskets made from concrete wire mesh.

Like onions, it's important to let them dry fully and try storing without them contacting each other.

If you plant the garlic from seed it takes two years to get a full bulb. Planting by spliting a bulb should have produced new bulbs. Try again in the spring. The stalks with bulbs will produce flowers. Garlic looks a little different from onion in that it has a single hard stalk with flat leaves coming off the side alternatly. Try putting some in the ground this fall if possible. They should come up first thing in the spring. Also try some sandy soil if you have mostly clay.

Can't do it this fall, Just had a couple very large pots that planted them with a mix of potting soil, top soil out of the bag and some sand, same mix I planted some rhubarb and apple trees and a grapevine and blackberrys in this spring all in large pots with hope of transplanting them this fall but construction is not progrossing as I would like on my greenhouse that I want to plant crops around. Some of the plants are still in pots, no flowers on any, should I leave them go for next year or discard?

Just let the keep going and see what happens. What do you have to lose. They should make it through the winter just fine.
