Fleece will keep the warmth in, which our garlic do not need and could in fact encourage them to rot.

You may have to look at a different barrier.

might have to put a wind break around them instead.

 I really meant BRIDLE not BRIDAL

I like "Bridal path", in fact I'm becoming quite wedded to the idea!

Just as long as it's divorced from the plot next door, it shouldn't be a problem

Lucky you all are that you have been able to plant your garlic - mine hasn't been posted to me yet! 

[bonfire]

A couple of mine have just come through but most are still - I hope- down there. This happened last year and in the end nearly all showed up - some in late January and all cropped very well. I think they do it to shred your nerves and show you that you're not as clever as you think you are.

My Purple Wight are about 4 inches high, but the Solent Wight are only just starting to come through. All planted on the same day

Bonfire - I planted some through weed control fabric with holes in it to cut down on the weeding. Some are 6 inches but some have yet to pop up throught the hole yet - all planted together. I have stopped worrying since every time I check a few more are appearing but it has taken over a month.

Mine only went in 2 weeks ago, just before the heavy rain, high winds and frosts! Made it!

Mine too are slow despite having done everything the book said to do for them.
