But we live in Georgia with a long hot summer. Some of the bunches, I've just left in the ground to multiply and get bigger the following year. This is the third summer, and several of the bunches flowered for the first time and I'm just going to let the seeds fall. See what happens. I have good luck with "multiplying onions" also. Thats what the guy at the farmers' market calls them. One type multiplies by the root, the other type multiplies with flowers that become tiny bulbs. I learn more about gardening every year. My goal is to have lots of year round perrenial edibles going. I’ve grown two different kinds of garlic, both of them originating from the grocery store.
