Original title too generic....... (Garlic)

I also ordered garlic and planted at the beginning of March. The pack says to harvest in August. |

I stick any garlic cloves I find sprouting [in the kitchen] into the soil in one of my larger planters and at the moment one which went in last Summer is looking promising. A second one went in Feb. and is sprouting away. Obviously I won't be looking at a huge crop but my gardening is for fun more than survival. _________________ Retired trouble-maker. twitters @walltoall and dreams of being promoted to Pedunculate Oaker.

I grow a bed of garlic every year. I plant it out in November, and it's ready for harvesting in June. Looking at last year's notes, I planted the cloves out on 7th November ( after bringing them along for about a month in modules) and dug them on the 8th June. We're still using that Garlic. |
