Garlic Cloves

Some bulbs of Scottish garlic have been split into cloves and planted into cell trays of compost.
Garlic requires a long growing season to harvest the following autumn/winter.

For this reason these cloves have been sown now (in Dec), so that they will be ready for planting outdoor next spring (Feb/March). Garlic is quite pest resistant and so makes an ideal companion plant when inter-cropping.

Grown under shelter in an outdoor shed/glasshouse these young plants are already starting to shoot.
