Hi Tracy

No idea, but it's worth a shot? I've got 3 garlics going to see [on purpose, I want the bees so am leaving them to flower], and will be planting the seeds once they are ready. I'll also plant proper garlic in november/December but will try these and see, it might take a year or two so I'll put them in the experimental bed.

how do you think i should sow the seed ? just like onion seed do you think
