I planted garlic late (early January) this year as it froze early, but they are emerging 2-3 weeks early! The second picture is from an area with closely planted bulbils which I harvest for the shoots.
Every winter for the last 10 years I’ve been sprouting the bulbils of the Scandinavian heirloom garlic Aleksandra. I sow them in soil and cut down about 3 times over a couple of months giving me garlic sprouts most days for my lunch.
Today’s garlic sprout photo shoot in the snowy garden :)A picture from 2005 showing the diversity of hard neck garlic topsets. Aleksandra (2nd from left at the top) has medium size bulbils and each plant produces maybe 30-40.
