Problem with Wilko CQ is that they tend not to have the garlic in till the gardening season kicks in after Christmas.

I've never had any success planting in Autumn as it just seems to sit in cold wet ground all winter and suffers as a result,for me anyway.

I know garlic needs a spell of cold weather to grow well but March is cold enough for it to get a cold snap.

I've had a great crop ever since giving up Autumn planting even including the last 2 years of rubbish Summer weather so If you've had a problem with Autumn planting and had a disappointing crop then I'd give Spring planting a go.

Go Wilko's !!!

Going to go for your advice Dan...it'll give me time to clear more beds for spring.
when do you get the garlic ffrom wilks though? Now? Or do they sell early in the year?
