Trying Creoles for the first time.
Almost 3 years ago, we moved from south Arkansas to south central Texas. Brought along with me my hardneck garlic seeds (Music and a couple of rocambole garlic that I've forgotten the name already) thinking there's not much difference in hardiness zone. (7b-->8b). I was wrong. The rocamboles cloves that are forming under the soil started sprouting resulting in an unusable harvest.
So, this season, I planted Ajo Rojo and Rose de Lautrec ( Creoles). I also planted Kettle River Giant. Hopefully, they will perform much better in my new zone. (For that is what I read from my research)
Hope you all have a good garlic harvest for 2019!
AJO ROJO

Nanelle, I hope your creoles are doing great. As for my Rose de Lautrec, their leaves are quick to dry off. As of today, most have only 5-6 sets of green leaves. And the bulbs are just beginning to form. I'm just hoping I'll harvest enough to use as seeds for next season.
Also, some plants have multiple tiny little garlic growing near the "mother" garlic.

My greens browned down earlier than I wanted. Aglio Rosso and Burgundy
Harvested so far; also includes some Spanidh Roja with split wrappers.

Thank you! I don't know where I got a rocambole, or why I would try one here. I even wondered if I labeled it wrong. It is 101 degrees here today.
Are there other potential explanations for the Spanish Roja? There is no scape on these two , the overall bulbs are really tiny, and seem to have one okay size clove, and then others growing around it.
Someone posted something about brooming, but I don't know what that . I think it was here.
