i think the variety must make quite a difference.
I grew a row each of Arno and Marco, side by side and whereas one of the rows was all spindly and a bit pathetic plants which fell over and have been harvested as pretty disappointing garlics already, the other variety is very thick, luxuriant and still standing proud. I can;t recall which of the two did well, though.

You can overdo things Elibump.
Like the smileys for instance.
Must be a matter of taste.

Sorry.  What does that mean?

[bonfire]

It means we don't all agree on everything Ice.

Like what.  I don't understand.

Have you never felt bullied Ice?

[Trillium]

Perhaps if you were less cryptic, bonfire, we'd all understand what you're aiming at.

Bonfire, I'm sorry if what I said made you feel bullied.  It was meant as GNB (good natured banter) between friends.

That's exactly how I read it too Elibump, with a smile and a joke as banter

Thanks for that Elibump.
As a judgement - I dug the last odd quarter row of garlic today - Spring sown Purple Moldovan ().
OK - but it was a bit small........
I should have followed my own advice.
For this part of the world Autumn sowing is the best plan.
