They will be ready when the tops go over around about June July time. You are correct they do show leaf and stalk structure like an onion and not multi shoots like shallots. What you harvest will look like the supermarket garlic with luck. That is one bulb about the size of a small onion with a papery outer cover inside of which should be 6 or 7 usable cloves of garlic. They keep very well and some of the more frugal people I know save the best two bulbs for next years planting giving them around a dozen cloves to plant. Some have not bought new stock for years and years.
Be prepared for the difference between 'supermarket' and 'home grown'. Let's say that mine cleared my nasal passages and blew the wax out of my ears!
Thanks chaps!
Like the idea of planting on next year is good.
Looking forward to turning some of the product into the garlic sauce that goes soooo well with a good old shoarma!
