i was told if they dont get frosted they stay a clove but if they get frosted in the ground they become a bunch of cloves so plant them at the start of winter and pick them in july >
This is true - garlic will just go to flowers & seed if it's planted in late spring !
Can anyone help with growing onions please. I buy sets - I grow organically in soil enriched with my own compost. I plant in raised beds which are slightly sloping but not shaded at all with the sun most of the day. I water when needed. However my onions rarely grow much bigger than the sets I buy!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!
I had similar problem with my garlic as tinytunia. I planted in modules in Nov. and overwintered in mini greenhouse where temp went below freezing. Could the dry conditions this year affect their growth? Is it worth replanting them now?
After a year in present house, a well-established leylandii - trimmed last autumn and this spring - has dead patches. If these are cut out will the live branches fill the gap? No rain can reach the trunks and the roots reach the lawn. Would a water supply to the trunks improve the growth?
..and my sister has just told me that she saw little boxes of golf-ball sized one-clove garlic (from China!!!) for sale in a supermarket, I'd love to know if it was a particuar variety!
I have just made a load of dilly beans using Alys Fowler's recipe. Great, but what happens next? How best to prepare them, cook them to eat in a few weeks' time?
i planted garlic bulds september last. they are about 4inches high now. some have about 4 green stems, should i seperate these and replant. also i had a plant that went 2 seed, i scattered the seeds and a year later i see small plants growing. is this normal.
