Title: Is it too early to plant autumn garlic?
Post by: missmoneypenny on October 12, 2018, 11:09

I have Provence wight and Caulk wight. I’m in London. Should I wait a little or is now OK? Thanks for your advice.

It's not too early, mine are going in later today - as long as I don't get blown away  :D

Mine went in over the last few days. Autumn garlic needs a good period of cold so the sooner the better. I've done it October for years with success.
