Title: Garlic and onion sets
Post by: mdjlucan on April 04, 2024, 17:09

As it’s been a wet very wet, I haven’t planted my onion and garlic set. Is it okay now to plant them? Thank you

I'd wait another week before planting onion sets, they are less likely to bolt

Garlic should have been in ages ago but you may get something useable like a single clove bulb or garlic scallions

You could try planting all or some in pots or modules to get them going and then plant them out when the plot has dried out. My plot is extremely wet and the forecast is for rain for nearly every day for the next 10 days. Its certainly been challenging this year.
