Barbara,
Divide up the head and plant the bulblets individually. By the time they
have bloomed next summer, they will have formed full bulbs at the base,
which can also be divided into individual cloves and used or replanted
separately. You will also have new bloom-heads of bulblets. Once you have
an adequate stock perpetuated in the garden, use the tiny bulblets in salads
or bake them in bread, just the way you would chopped or minced garlic
cloves.
