I'm now using some of my garlic that was planted last October. It's still growing, but I refuse to buy it at the supermarket!
I've also added the leaves/stem from the early harvest to stir-fries with success.
I've also harvested some garlic "Scrapes" , which were fantastic chopped up and cooked in an omlette.
My question is this.....can I use some of my home grown bulbs to plant in autumn, or am I asking for trouble?
They are from hardneck garlic I bought from a seed merchant last year. (can't remenber the variety)
They were BTW the only thing that the free-ranging hens DIDN'T manage to eat at the back end of last year, before I confined the darlings into a chicken run! (They saw off the sprouts/leeks/onions and went mad about the broad beans!!)
