Garlic, done!

Finally got the last of mine planted today (I've been getting a few more cheap packs).

Elephant Garlic x 65

Hardneck Garlic
Music x 30
Casablanca x 30
'T&M Choice' x 105 (no idea what variety this is, it was in a very cheap T&M multi-pack and bought when 20% off plus used Clubcard treble up and they did rather well).

Softneck Garlic
Germidour x 75
Thermidrone x 25

Total = 330, and my white rot free raised beds are now full. I've got about 7 or 8 Elephant Garlic 'rounds' still to plant somewhere.

 

Planted another 40 garlic cloves in fibre pots put on a shelf in a polytunnel until I get another white rot free raised bed sorted, getting the total up to 370.

As, looking back at my records, I bought those 'T&M choice' garlic bulbs as Spring planting garlic, so will plant some more next Spring before they go off.

 

I cheated & purchased some garlic at the supermarket. I took one bulb & broke it up then planted it.
This is only my third time trying to grow garlic.
I dug in plenty of pig poop a week before planting. And didn't plant them too deep.
They've now been in for around six months & OMG! They look like huge onion bulbs already. I can't believe it!
I have kept the bed moist & weeded & just broke the flower stems off.

I put it down to the pig poop lol
