How is garlic supposed to grow?

Question

I planted some garlic and i'm not sure how its supposed to grow. I thought it would grow under ground but on top of the stem seems to be some little garlic cloves. I'm confused, Does anyone know how they grow?

Answer 1

Garlic should ussually be planted in teh fall.  I grows under ground.  What you are seeing is probably a seed pod or scape.
