Vegmonkey and the Mrs.

I planted a bulb of Solent Wight garlic back in April, in very small wicker baskets (each big enough for a clove) that were picked up cheap from the local garden centre. The leaves have long since died off, leaving just stumps, so i decided to investigate.  I was expecting rotten small cloves, but the garlic had grown, albeit not to the size predicted. It had split so the cloves can be separated.

That should keep us in garlic for the next few months. I think it was so small due to being Spring planted, and that to get larger cloves it needs to be Autumn planted. I’m going to split the largest clove, plant it and see what emerges come next summer…
