garlic

Wow well done

Mine failed last year......think I got the planting stage all wrong but keep that quiet!

Gonna plant again in October for next Spring and see what happens. Looks like you've got a good crop Richard, well done.

LOL We won't breath a word Oddbillie, Richard has a good saying, which he relayed to me, plant on the shortest day of the year it will be ready by the longest day to harvest.

Yes Sixpence someone told me that so that is what I have done this time -they should be ready in about a month so I'll let you know what they are like. :-)
Sorry to hear that Dan - this is the first time for me to try garlic so hope they will be OK. I transplanted two dwarf sunflowers in the garden today! :-)

Oh thats great will look forward to seeing dwarf ones.

Look good, but dont like garlic....

girls got me sum 4 my b day lol but wen do u plant it ?

I'll take a picture when they flower sixpence:-)
Thanks Carol - did Sandra and Baz manage to get away after -hope they did :-)
Hi Cristina -they say to plant garlic on the shortest day and harvest it on the longest day that's what I did this time. I just separated the cloves from a bulb I bought in the supermarket and planted those...lol. You must be able to plant it at other times but I don't know when maybe someone on here can advise, or else you can post a question above :-)

ok have put / on so will c ta x

That's good Cristina :-)

nah right went to the fridge to day to get sum gaelic to put on asparagus and it has got shoots on so i thort i might plant it instead and c wot happens

That's what I would have done with it too Cristina, It should grow OK -did you separate the bulb into its separate cloves first?

i did and i put the others in the fridge to c if they sprout as well lol

Hope you get plenty of garlic Cristina :-)

garlic planted and it looks as if its growing well its bt 4 or 5 " high now so am exted but wen do u no its ready ?

Thanks -I think it will be ready when the leaves start to go yellow Cristina which should be in a few more weeks hopefully :-)

ok no flowers then. they r growing very well. i tryed last year but no gud ,but these r now bt 7 " high. so how much bigger will they b. got pea pods on now as well. and my spuds lol carnt keep up wth it all.

It gets quite busy at this time of year Cristina. I am waiting for the garlic to bend over and turn yellow/brown then I am told it will be ready. I have started to feed it today with miraclegrow. Your peas and spuds sound great you may be eating them soon :-)

I picked our first radish yesterday Cristina and have quite a bit more coming through now too.:-)

We tend to use the radish sliced up in a sandwich with other things or have them on a salad Cristina. Other than that I am not sure what you can use them for :-)
