Couldn’t resist. Pulled one garlic head. Looks good, I guess. Planted March 21, so about 3 months ago. It is Early Italian garlic, spring shipped, from John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds.
Now what do I do with it? Does it need to cure, or can it be used fresh?

It sounds like pollination issues.
I want to try these so bad too! Right now I have a couple pots of regrown store onions, a pot of native i'itoi onions and some red beard bunching onions seedlings...but those Egyptians look delightful!More info about Egyptian Walking Onions, with some pictures.
I needed onions for a recipe, and have used all the "regular" onions from last year, so I dug 4 clumps of EWOs. I took the kitchen shears out with me, so I could cut off the roots and parts I didn't need. (I don't need any green onions atm, and they don't keep as well. Plus, I can have fresh any time.)
The 4 clumps were chosen by these criteria: Are they big, and are they in a crowded spot? By big, I look at the stem coming out of that particular onion. The bigger the stem, the bigger the onion.

The 2 bottom ones are big, for EWOs. The one above it is on the smaller side. You lose some of the size when you take off the outer layers to clean them up.

About the topsets... sometimes they will grow another topset. That's what this one did, and instead of bulbils, it looks like it's trying to flower. (Some of the topsets will do that; never tried to save seed from these.)

When you try to slice them like you would a regular onion, the layers tend to separate, as they aren't very thick. I slice them about 3/16-1/4" and call that good. With the bigger bulbs, you can sometimes see that it's trying to form a new bulb. That's how the clumps grow more onions. So the individual bulbs won't get much bigger than the big ones I had in the picture. They will then split and form another bulb.
They're the cutest naked people I've seen...well, except for my kids when they were still babies.Funny story bout the pole people. They were carolers a lady at our old church had made and all dressed up for winter and had wire hangers on sides of their heads bent to hold hymnal pages! Our storage unit got mice and there went the cutesy clothes...but they were like 15 yrs old ..or more!
So when the coop was being built I was scrounging foe every piece of wood I could and kept em...naked!
Then they just sort of ended up hanging out with the chickens...still naked!
But when all the sweetpeas starting coming up I thought that would be excellent clothing! I had flower pots for their heads but never got stuff put in em so of course they blew off.
I need to work with the sweet peas to get em growing up and round em...they've put on so much growth and I've been focused on tomatoes cucumbers and squash...
Guess it's time they stopped being so brazen out their all naked and cover up!
I wish i knew how to recognize tomatos suckers. Learning about the cucumber suckers and i think thats going good. Hey, have fun! Right?( Unless you desperately need the tomatoes because you refuse to spend 2.50 a pd any longer)!I pruned my tomatoes yesterday. Cut off everything from about 8-10" down, plus any suckers I saw. There's air flow there now, that's for sure. I need to water them today. I gave them a nice drink on Monday, but there hasn't been any rain in a week, at least. Maybe if I water today, it'll rain like they say it might Saturday night.

Oh Sally! You make it look easy!The little stem that you see here (it's between a leaf stem, the angled one, and the main stem) is a tomato sucker.
