That's fantastic.  We've not done garlic before but we're going to give it a go.  Great inspiration!

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. We did eat a bulb wet. Found it really mild and sort of wished we had saved it for drying! We have about another 60 bulbs drying in the shed of different varieties.

I hope you have a blank wall on which to hang that lovely work of art. It deserves its own space.
