    Garlic

    Around about now - is the time that you should be putting your garlic in.

    You need to split the cloves, and plant them flat end down - about 3-4 inches deep into soil.

    I have found that between now and midwinter's day, gives the biggest final bulbs.

    Planting in spring really doesn't work - get them in over the next few weeks.


    Don't say I didn't remind you!

    Did mine about 3 weeks ago

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          I planted 4 cloves in a pot yesterday. I was planning on doing around 12 cloves, but I ran out of compost!!!!!

            Will do, thanks for the reminder. I managed some pretty big ones last year so I am hoping for good things. Having said that, it was probably a fluke

                      I've been waiting for ages to get my garlic in - the ground is still very wet. If it rains any more this week, I'll be putting them in modules!
                      But thanks for the heads up, Zazen.

                          You're psychic Zaz. I've had a bit of a bad back for the last couple of days, so the only gardening-related job I've done today is to split some cloves ready to plant. The tiny cloves from last year are in modules and about an inch high and I planted about 20 in a raised bed 3 weeks ago. Hoping for some decent sized ones next year.

                            All of mine is sunk. Some of which is throwing up some green shoots.

                              Likewise, mine have been in GH in modules for a week & are about 1-2" high. Wasn't sure when to transplant as it's the first time I have sown them like this.
