thanks you guys, i have a feeling i'll be visiting here fairly regularly over the coming years. i'm v excited about my new (small) veggie beds!

i actually read it in this month's GYO... under the garlic article there's a small box on top right with details on incompatibility...shame i didn't read it first! I'll try to contact the journalist and enlighten us all.

My mother said the same as you Alison - leave them alone for now. may do. i think I'll also plant some other rows and play spot the difference!

Thanks again for your lovely welcomes
