Stick up a picture
Did they seed on you?
No.
I’m stumped anyway. If you’ve a few left in be interesting to see what they do. I’ve seen them get damp inside and go mouldy below ground and still flourish up top before. Unless the sets were a year old?
I plant the garlic in November and the frost does the business. Wouldn’t ever plant onions until St. Patricks Day myself. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
Planted them the end of October
Is that garlic or an onion?
Looks like you buried them too deep and lifted them too early. Nothing will mature over winter sure.
Garlic. Should have been some bit of growth on the bulb by now no?
Well I don’t know. I doubt you’d get much growth over winter.
Sow it on the shortest day and harvest it on the longest day, they say. So you’re missing the best part of three months summer growth.
Also a dry early summer can feck up garlic development so I’d leave it in the ground until the leaves die back at least.
I fecked up my own garlic crop last year. I’ll post a photo later when I’m out and about.
I leave the rest of them down so for a while and see how it goes.
Planted Maris Pipers, two apricot trees and two plum trees there.
How long does it take the birds to grow?
The old wives tale for garlic is to plant it on the shortest day and pull it on the longest.
I think you may have pulled it too early, the frostsplits the bulb but it won’t swell until there’s a bit of heat there.
Great feature about chili’s on gardeners world tonight
Must catch up on that.
I’m using the highest blade on the lawnmower but its still coming up a bit burnt in places, any recomendations for good lawn feed?

Surely you’d need a bit of nitrogen this time of year to green it up a bit?
Belt away… The law will need too be cut twice a week
Fuck that.
