This is not quite correct for garlic. The vast majority of garlic today (90%) doesn’t produce true seed. Instead, the flower head is covered in bubils, hundreds of mini garlic cloves that over a 2-3 year period will mature into individual garlic bulbs. Of the remaining 10% that can produce true seed they will only give you 10-20 seeds and most of those will fall to germinate. There are a few farms that do try to collect this seeds because they believe it’s important to the long term health garlic to not just produce asexually. For the average gardener, simply planting cloves each fall or collecting the bubils and expanding their crop over several years will be the most productive course
Soooo, you never mentioned what the seeds are for. Do we plant, cook, use it for some dish? Do the seeds grow into the plant? You did a good first step, but I’m left hanging on what to do with the seeds🫠
I should have watched this video bf pulling up the one garlic that had the flower pod up top, so the seeds inside are green……can I cut the stem and place it in water???? Will the seeds mature and turn black? I’m so dumb…
We’re all learning. Just try again next season. Save your largest cloves and replant, especially the cloves from the bulb with the flower head that you cut too early. All is not lost. 😊
@@DaysWellSpent I discarded it……but found one lonely bulb with a flower head that I didn’t harvest and will get seeds from that….ty for your response 🥰
