Softneck garlic flowering - advice please
« on: May 19, 2014, 21:54 »
My Marco garlic is sending up flower stalks. What do I do, if anything?

They were planted in May last year, and are the remains of my awful garlic marbles which I thought had died, but came back at the end of last year.

Do I cut out the flower stalk?

Other than a radical haircut to get rid of rust, they look good.
