Bummer, Sarah.

However, all is not lost. Cure those small rounders on racks, and replant them this fall. Next spring you should have full bulbs from them.

But, then again, with the several varieties you're acquiring this year, maybe it won't be necessary, and you can eat the rounders instead. As I recall, they were just supermarket garlic to begin with, right?

GardenLad, you are correct sir! softneck grocery store garlic. i will be throwing these little guys into some spaghetti sauce tonight!! ;) This was a great little experiment for me and i look forward to the workshop and doing things right for next season. :)
