Garlic Question
« on: June 22, 2017, 22:04:59 »
One of my garlic cloves (largest) appears to have 2 stalks like the garlic is formed of 2 plants although its a single bulb - is that normal??

It happens fairly often to me ... normally caused by planting what looks to be one large clove, but actually is 2 smaller ones which share the same papery skin.  It's not a problem and you'll get 2 smaller bulbs of garlic (because they've grown too close together to get big)
