On our site we have a number of Italians. Just out of curiosity I checked before posting as i noticed it last year. One of them plants his garlic (though it is elephant garlic he plants) on top of the soil but the next one along also italian has planted on top of the soil then made a little mound over each row.The birds have already pulled some of mine out again :( have to keep putting them back but the problem is seeing where it's come from.
Elephant garlic isn't a true garlic - it's from the lily family as far as I know.

It's definitely a plant!!!!!Garlic, onions, leeks etc are all Alliums...elephant is more closely related to leeks than garlic.
Mine hasn't been planted either, but it's pretty tolerant. It'll be going in shortly.
