I planted a clove ... lovely green shoots.

Shoots?? There will be one shoot from one clove. Did you plant the whole head undivided?

No meant to say planted three cloves. Each has a shoot about 6" long.

I've also planted some garlic that i brought back from France (more authentic, of course!!) but I did mine in Feb - it also has sprouted shoots, which started as one, but now looks kinda like a daffodil...

Lift in mid-July when foliage dies back. You will probably get a single, large clove from each. Either eat or replant in Aug/Sep/Oct/Nov (not critical)

Ditto that to you, sally_cinnamon

I meant to add. A hardneck variety will push up a flowering stem (scape) in June. This should be removed immediately (they are edible).

they need to experience a frost to produce the cloves,like w.g said,you will get just a single round bulb,still tasty but not very big
