Solent White Garlic
« on: February 17, 2010, 14:54 »
Just seen the excellent video - so can anyone advise if Solent White garlic bulbs are available in most garden centres or do I have to get buymail order?
Also can you buy British grown bulbs in supermarkets - if so are they any good for planting?
Thanks !

Hiya - I usually send off for my Solent Wight - good suppliers on ebay. I wouldn't plant anything from the supermarket - you won't know its full provenence, and therefore what its growing and storing characteristics are.
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Probably the one accessed via superluke2's previous link.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I searched for superluke2 and found only this thread and one other - nothing about a video. Any other thoughts?

Cheers.

JohnB47........on reply number 7 above, there is a link to the garlic farm.
Once you open that there is a link on the righthand side to videos on you tube.
Have a look there :)
