Results from my bulbil plantings

[All of these were planted last fall. Half were in raised bed here in my city garden and half at our field. The bigger ones of Bonavista look like there are small side cloves, so those have to be carefully separated before planting.

Most of the Alexandra rounds produced full size normal heads. Only the smallest rounds planted in the city grew just a bit bigger rounds. That variety gave nice heads in two years when grown from bulbils.

Tallinn also grew some divided heads from second year rounds, but those were much smaller than the ones grown from cloves. I may still use those cloves for planting just to see how long it takes to get them to size up.
