I have grown garlic (many types) for 8 years, even from my own seed But many people on this site say the best to grow is Music!  Which I want to try, but can't source - where do you get yours from as I need some ready for the 31ts Oct to keep the evils bugs off the plot for another year!!

Thanks  Paul

But it's the wrong time of year.

October is when you should be planting it, not harvesting it!

I bought mine, as did a few others, from here

They aren't cheap - but you never have to buy seed again, so look on it as an investment 

Keep an eye on their site to see when the seed garlic is available.

You beat me to it - as usual

I've only got 90 self-saved cloves growing happily away, still got quite few left in the garage for culinary purposes. They started life as three bulbs from there.

Snap those two! Its where I get mine too. I never seem to buy enough to have any left over to save as DD does as it's too lovely and all gets eaten.  Maybe this year....

I forgot to say, that the company mentioned above and their product featured a few of days ago on the Hairy Bikers Best of British series.

I'm lucky that I have a number of reasonably local organic garlic farms and most attend the annual garlic festival about an hour's drive from me. I can get quite a few garlic varieties but Music always grows best for me.

I unintentionally miss pulling a few ready heads in fall and come spring I have a number of free plants ready to separate and replant, which is handy as I often need more than I've planted  My kids are getting more into cooking with garlic and demand sometimes overwhelms supply

Im seriously considering buying environmesh just to grow some music again, the supermarket stuff is an abysmal disgrace. 

Any sign of the allium leaf miner around your parts (  ) yet Dave ?

Certainly hope not for Dave's sake (he's off on holiday soon and won't be wanting to have to see his GP before he goes.)

Actually, no.

Garlic is fine.

My current allium problem is leek moth.
