hi all i dug a couple of elephant garlic bulbs up today (not grown it before) and they had little bulbs growing on the out side of them are these new garlic bulbs which can be grown on next year? or what are they? and what do you do with them now.
thanks

They are called bulbils and can be grown on in following years, forming a small round the first year. see this page for photos of their different stages of growth :- http://www.growyourown.info/page145.html
