Looks like it's time to remove bulbils (immediately plant them) and let the garlic flower. Year two of trying to produce True Garlic Seed (TGS) has begun!

I've included my work so you can double check, but I get the following: SB.val = (10 + √( 1.3(-10 - SB.master) ) ) / 10

The natural result after people draw "Thing + Fish" for several types of fish.

And I plan on using a fermentation starter to make it bubbly sometime in the future: youtube.com/watch?v=0RWZvvNE…

I put it on my wall

So I got this brass fish from a garage sale.

Garlic Flowers. Hoping they produce some viable seeds.

Also, there's a box turtle nesting in my music garlic patch O_O

And here are the cloves separated.

Last year I harvest two random garlics that popped up in a blackberry patch. Harvested one of the heads to see what they look like.

I planted 73 bulbils this past winter. They all grew and produced rounds, except one that produced a scape and (from what I could see) produced cloves. So I'm really hoping these flowers produce seed. It'd be cool to have a garlic seed that reliably produces cloves in one season.

I read that it's possible to get true garlic seed from an umbel if you remove all the bulbils from it. So I removed 132 bulbils from 4 garlic umbels. Hopefully those flowers produce some seeds for me :)

I noticed that one of my inchelium reds (softneck) has some bulbils a few inches above the head where a bend in the stalk is. Anyone run into this ever? #gardening #garlic This particular garlic plant is stunted (small head so far) and I repotted it to see what happens with it.

Softneck garlics (inchelium red, 53 of them) harvested. Mostly small to medium sized heads. Looked like leaving them in the ground longer would have caused too much paper to disintegrate. Hardneck garlics look like they can stick in the ground for another month.
