How to grow these seeds NEW METHOD:
Growing garlic from garlic bulbils involves the use of bulbils as seed garlic aerial nodules and growing trade garlic rounds. This allows improving the garlic and therefore increasing productivity. Seeds garlic rounds more winter-hardy, disease resistant lesions and has a productive generation offspring compared with that obtained from garlic cloves.
It's going to take 1 years to grow middle and 2 year to grow full-size garlic cloves from bulbil.
Plant bulbils about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and the same distance apart in good, well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Some gardeners just dig a wide trench 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and toss handfuls of bulbils in any which way. That works too as long as you thin the plants come summer.
We highly recommend mulching with straw, as not only does it help protect against the cold of winter, it keeps weeds down the following summer.
Some gardeners prefer to store bulbils indoors over the winter and sow them in spring. That works too!
Keep the bed well weeded. Water only in periods of extreme drought.
In late summer, as the leaves start to die back (that is, at the same time you would normally harvest garlic), dig up the plants. They'll have formed "rounds" (small single bulbs that haven't yet split into cloves), much larger than the original bulbils.
They are edible now. But... You can let them dry out in a shady spot, then replant them out, again at garlic planting time in September or October. This time, if they've increased notably in size, plant them deeper (2 inches/2.5 cm) and give them more space to grow (about 4 inches/10 cm).
In their second summer, the plants will be much bigger and many will try to form a scape. Weed as usual during the summer.
Congratulations! Two years after you started, you now have fully mature garlic!
Garlic from bulbils: a bit slow, but often very rewarding!
