Re: Garlic

I've planted about 80 of these things...and only about 8 have come up with flowers and taking them out doesn't free up any meaningful space so I'll probably leave them in and see what happens.

Garlic

I planted out some garlic last November and some of the plants have grown flowering shoots...should I just cut these off. The plants are nowhere near full growth yet, the leaves are only 6 inches tall or so. Also...most books tell me that no feed is really required at this stage, is this what anyone...
