    Well considering the terrible weather this year I'm amazed how well my garlic has done.

    Planted it on March 28th and dug it up yesterday.

    Decent size too.

    Best thing is that they were planted from some bulbs I had left over from last years crop so I must have inadvertantly developed a new strain which does well in a rubbish summer.
