hi bq yes its exciting isn't it, I put some in the polytunnel 5 days ago and its about 2 inches all ready, outside hasn't come through yet planted at same time .darren

I won't put mine in until end of the month or first week in November.   I haven't planted it this early in October, but I know lots do.  You need it to make a little bit of growth before the cold weather arrives.

I've never grown garlic before and was about to plant it but old Joe told me to wait until at least middle of October. I suppose you pay your money and take your choice!!!!!!!

Hi,

Last year I planted garlic and it started sprouting quite a bit before winter came and it went very well this year so I think it's ok.

Only two beds are up not the third yet. Still looking for stuff to go in. Got garlic, leeks, cabbage and swedes in. Not sure what else to put in

Mine always gets planted last week in September into modules as the plot beds are not dug yet. Then planted out Decemberish... Best garlic ever this year planted the modules out on 30 Dec.

I often don't plant it until January, with great results.

[Beetroot Queen]

I might keep popping some in then could i do some each month till jan. Not that we use hardly any but i am trying to change that, we'll have a garlic glut next

we could easily use 100 bulbs in a year  running out of this year's 40 bulbs already!
