help im new to this and have lost my garlic!

  hi I am new to the whole allotment thing! got my half plot near chester last october, I prepared raised beds etc did all the digging and feeding of the beds and planted out my garlic bulbs bought from reputable supplier in november.... but still no sign, Iam new at this and learning so forgive me if I should know these things, but shouldnt something be coming up by now or is it too early? am worried that with such a wet season may have rotted? any advice would be lovely I feel under pressure as have two elderley and very experienced plotters either side of me !!!

many thanks in anticipation

If I were you I'd lift one and have a look....see what's going on

I'm in exactly the same position - planted before Christmas and no sign yet. So i had a furtle and scraped off the top very gently - nothing. Ah well, they've probably rotted.... so I took the trowel and slowly went down about 4" and there was a shoot making its way up...

now I didn't think I'd planted that deep, and I'm wondering if the frost has lifted the surface of the soil a little?

Fret not!!! They will come. I planted mine in sept and they are only now coming up!!

thankyou all for replys so far..... will sit it out another week or two and see what happens maybe even try and lift one, I shall let you know if anything happens!!!!

the variety was solent wight so maybe is just a little behind!!! my word if I have this much stress over my first ever crop on my allotment its going to be a fun year!!!!!
