Texas Gardening: Is my Elephant garlic ready, Jo?, 1 by sybram

Hmmmm, the little bulblets that I showed in the last pic were just some that had fallen on the ground as I was washing the dirt off the garlic. I just went out there to pick all the others off the pods, and I saw that those were not sprouts at all, but the garlic root that was holding the little guys onto their mama.

I would really love to plant them now, because they are really so much softer than ones I've gotten before, and I think it wouldn't take them nearly as long to make. Problem is I don't have any place prepared to plant them. I do have a tiller, but I so don't need another project right now. So much to do.

These bulblets are so small. Do they make big, full pods just like when you plant the cloves? Have you ever planted them, Jo?
