Garlic rocked in wind
« on: April 04, 2015, 20:06 »
Hi guys,

A few on my garlic are leaning over after recent wind damage.

A few seem to be hanging on by a thread.

Can I dig and nice them or will they be alright, and put on some stronger growth?

When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

I would dig them out gently with a trowel and re-plant deeper. I plant mine at about 3 inches deep.

Mine do that, I am right on the coast, very windy. I just put some more compost around them and firmed it down, worked ok last year.

OK, I'll try that.

One that had fallen over looked like it hadn't split and was one large bulb.

Would the splitting of happened yet?
