No, my garlic does not dance.

The garlic I planted in my garden last fall has taken a turn — literally. Everything was fine Sunday night, but when I checked on the garden this morning, the garlic stalks had all gone topsy-turvy, curled in on themselves like an interstate exit ramp or a crazy Muppet’s nose.

What the … ? At first I thought a strong wind may have intertwined the stalks, but then I realized that all the garlic had curled in on itself.

Is this the St. Louis Park equivalent to a crop circle? Are extraterrestrial beings trying to communicate with me? (Kudos, for your creativity guys. You totally got my attention. Next time can you wait until after I had my morning cup of coffee? Not a good way to start out a Monday… no, no, no.)

Have you grown garlic? What’s going on with these baffling bulbs?
