This time last year, I planted some like that. They did really well, made some nice bulbs, divided normally. Hopefully yours will do the same!
Thanks Mark, the variety of these bulbs is unknown, they were the derivative of some old supermarket garlic cloves that I planted well over 5 yrs ago. The garlic kept coming up each season but never made cloves, it was growing very densely, but it was enough for my purposes. Last year I decided to grow garlic a bit more seriously and I planted in the spring indoors in pots because the weather was so wet, not letting the cloves get frosted. Lesson learned. We'll see what happens this year.
