I think its a wivestale that if you cut them they grow bulbs. They will grow bulbs regardless. We do eat them. YUMMY!

I meant that the plant would put more energy into the garlic bulb. Our garlic were coming out so tiny but this did help to increase the size of the bulbs.
Do you notice this with those you cut the scapes off?
I totally believe it might be true but I've just never done it because I never had an issue. I will make an effort to do that next year! THANKS!
Yes, although I think your fertilizer might account for the large size.
Will we still be here comparing notes about gardening next harvest? Having just started this less than 2 weeks ago I am amazed by how much I am learning.
We use rabbit manure in most of our garden. We can get it for $50 by the truckload. It is amazing stuff. Also, we found a source for freshly used mushroom compost and that stuff is amazing! We top off with back to eden style wood chips to cover the soil and keep in moisture. I highly recommend watching the Back To Eden movie if you can.
Good advice. I'll look it up.
