Elephant Garlic.

My elephant garlic looks well and is growing fast, but a shoot has grown from the centre and it's going to turn into a flower. Should I leave it or should I cut the flower off to help with the growth of the garlic bulb ?.

To get the biggest cloves of Elephant Garlic, the flower bud should be removed as soon as it appears to conserve the energy of the plant. As the flower spike grows in between the cloves, it does not affect the keeping quality of the cloves.
