    Garlic,split into cloves and plant just under the surface.Onions plant just under surface,both will require warmer soil than we have now so wait a month at least ,unless you cover with cloches.Blackbirds tend to pull then up when digging for worms so a cover with fleece will help until established.

      They are a doddle!
      Both can be planted now, but I have found that March probably gives just as good results if you have missed the Autumn planting.

      I have covered both on my pages:-

      The tip that has had the most favourable comments is the planting of onion sets next to each other. It works so well that it iss worth planting a whole pack of 100+ bulbs as well as the usual ones.
