Hi everyone, I've grown alliums for the first time this year in pots,
as I have heavy clay soil. Now that they've finished flowering and died back I pulled up the bulbs and got a surprise - they're huge and look just like a standard bulb of garlic with some really juicy looking cloves. I'd like to store them to replant in the autumn, my question is whether I should plant each clove separately or put the whole bulb back in as it is? Will each clove produce a new plant or will there only be one? The bulbs I planted this year were tiny in comparison!
Please forgive me for my ignorance!
