It is a little late but worth a try if you have some.

Hi alfieplot162,
Put your garlic bulbs in the fridge for at least a week to give the bulbs a mini winter,
which will help the bulbs split & you should get a better crop  ;).

-1..   :( ... Have my earlies in already. yesterday I visited my plot with fleece roll but couldnt see any sprouts yet... (I am not hijacking thread  :tongue2:)

On garlics I planted in last october and When I saw them yesterday in the evening sunshine they were looking beautiful. all healthy and growing.

I planted mine spring bulbs last Sunday and they have green tips already. So no not to late. I have got some left over if you want them?

I grew garlic for the first time last year and was really pleased with the results.  Kept us going until Christmas.  I haven't put mine in yet so hope I am not too late but as I put them in about this time last year I am keeping my fingers crossed.
