Ken I'm d...Thanks Susan, I know what you mean!<br /><br />Ken I'm delighted you're thinking about growing your own - if you're a foodie you can't beat it for flavour, freshness and the satisfaction of cooking your own veg! If you don't have time to get to the patch now just cover it with black plastic until you're ready to stop any more weeds growing.<br /><br />Garlic takes a long time to grow so generally the earlier it's planted the better. It's usually recommend to plant early to late autumn (Sept to Nov). Garlic that's sold for winter planting usually needs cold temperatures for the bulbs to form fully too. If you don't have time now, I've always had success with planting in spring time as soon as the soil is workable (ie not frozen or sticky), around early March. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Greenside Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783193096121064217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886349661882889277.post-17738840995598705382010-10-28T15:43:30.129+01:002010-10-28T15:43:30.129+01:00Giving me great ideas for the patch I'm in the...Giving me great ideas for the patch I'm in the process of clearing in the garden. I made a half-hearted effort back at the start of the summer but am determined by next summer to grow garlic, onions, peppers and some chili. Next belt of reasonable weather and I'm out with the shovel to finish it off.<br /><br />Is there a stage where it gets too late to plant garlic?Ken McGuirehttp://www.anygivenfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886349661882889277.post-55766109710986972972010-10-18T21:52:56.084+01:002010-10-18T21:52:56.084+01:00Good info, & I LOVE the new look!!!!
