    It might be wet & miserable but.......

    I decided to dig my Elephant Garlic today, even though it's got about 4 weeks growth left, before any dreaded white rot sets in. Have to say I'm well happy, with some of the bulbs 4" across, much better than I thought they'd be. (wish I could say the same about my spuds at the lottie which are all blighted and have to come up on the weekend

      You're not alone T8ter on the taters. Nice haul of garlic though.

            I wont be getting any from anywhere as I will be reusing cloves from this year's crop for the next planting in late October....

              Here's one I used in my dinner last night!

              I put four cloves in our meatballs WOOF - will try two next time for some reason I thought they might not be strong!

              I also added the Purple Gusto chilli! Mild but yum!

              Cant remember what sort this Garlic IS though - it was a variety pack and I got them all muddled when planting!
