Garlic Out of four rows of garlic I planted on the 6th of November all I see is two rows showing but the other two rows nothing I was planted on the 6th of November have I lost them thanks

As I keep saying - both onions and garlic will be concentrating on putting down roots, rather than growing shoots, at this time of year.

I understand what you’re saying but when I put all these in I’ve got two rows showing tips of garlic coming out that’s what I meant but the others are not coming out thank you so much for your help

[New shoot]

Are they all the same type?  If they are 2 different kinds, 1 lot might just be a bit slower to get going.  I've noticed that before.

[mdjlucan]

Yes they are all the same garlic I put in that date

[New shoot]

That is a bit odd, but it doesn't mean you have lost them.  Give then a bit longer.  The only thing to do to check for sure is to dig one up and see if it has made roots, but you would have to find it and that might disturb the row too much.

If it has rotted, there is nothing you can do now.  The rest has grown OK so it isn't anything you have done. 

I would wait and if nothing happens, buy some spring planting garlic in January/February when it appears in the shops and replace the rows that have failed.

Okay thank you very much have a nice Christmas

Went to the allotment yesterday to my amazement I ordered some new garlic and onions but when I went to my allotment and yesterday I noticed that the rest of the garlic and onions are reappearing

I'm glad they've come through, we did tell you that they would be ok, didn't we  If you've ordered more you should end up with a bumper harvest this year
