I've dealt with this before, but I'm too brain dead right now to remember, so I'd appreciate someone reminding me....

Growing garlic had it's tops beat down by hail. I thought it would bounce up, it hasn't. We have had a LOT of rain, that area eroded. There are green colored bulbs sticking up from or just sitting on the ground.

Do I need to harvest them or just cover them back up?

Are they soft or hard necked?

If hard I think it would be better to harvest (or leave for green garlic in fall). They are beginning to go dormant in these parts anyway. I haven’t grown much soft necked but suspect they may be different.
 
Is that a banana in your pocket? I'm just asking for this tiny ad:
