its gone wrong

Hi just starting out on here had a bit of a problem with my garlic, ive had nothing at all come up out of thirty odd i planted . Any ideas.

How long ago did you plant it out?

I think that's already been asked! 

So when did you plant yours safetrade, if it isn't right either?

Best to plant garlic in the month of Nov. dig ans soften the soil, rake flat and just poke a garlic piece into the soil. over time it will pop through.

Don't forget that there are spring planting varieties too.

Until marvbull tells us what s/he's planted & when, we can't offer any specific advice.

I was told that they can rot over winter if the soil is too water logged? (Someone who planted a lot that didn't come up told me this), and that if you are worried about drainage you can add a bit of sand to the hole before planting. After all that has been said about planting time, I had quite a surprise, as a friend helped me out at my allotment about three weeks ago. She bought with her some garlic her mum had given her, from France (for eating, not growing) and planted it. I expected nothing, wrong time of year, warm weather, etc. Couldn't believe my eyes yesterday it has all sprouted! I expect that your garlic will appear when you have forgotten all about it!
