Hello All,
First post here from a newbie here trying to get more use out of my garden. Apart from potatoes, tomatoes and a few sweet pepper plants last year I have never really planted many vegetables.
Anyway, I planted some garlic cloves (supermarket ones) in Oct. Not really knowing what I was doing I just placed them in multi purpose compost in growing modules and left outside. they sprouted one main green shoot so I planted some in pots and some in the ground around february.
The problem now is a lot of them have sprouted lots of green shoots alongside the main stem. Does this mean they are ruined? Should I just pull them up and compost them?
Thanks and I promise future queries will just be to the point!
