I have just harvested my first crop of garlic and I cut off the stems (probably should not have) and cleaned them and left them in a dry bowl to dry out. I noticed today that they are sprouting! Help.

Next year just dig them up leaving the soil on them and lay the whole plant out on a rack to dry in the shade outside but out of the rain.When the tops are completly dry just pull them off and rub the soil off the bulb.
