Garlic #1

Despite the normal practise of planting garlic in late Autumn or early Spring, I've decided to plant out x2 rows of garlic now as an experiment.






By planting cloves with an already established root system, and mounding the earth about the stems, each plant should be just about hardy enough to take the expected frost next week.


The main threat to these tender shoots remains the wind at present.

Hi JAJ,

Like the blog, and not a million miles apart. My Daughter is at Uni in Leicester.
