Very interesting not that we will ever be huge garlic growers but we'll have another go

I've got garlic coming out of my ears. You can't shift on the patio, yard, benches, tables etc. Then there's the red onions, the brown onions and shallots 

I've read garlic scapes being described as looking like  "heron's necks"   

Quite a few of mine have got those secondary bulbs up the stems. All will go in the pot
