Garlic
« on: January 04, 2011, 15:31 »
I just bought some 'Taylors French Garlic Germidour', I've fancied growing some so picked a packet up when I saw it in the garden centre today. Silly me didn't notice it says 'Plant in Autumn'.

Will it keep till next Autumn?
Whats the best way to store it?

Won't keep a year.

Best bet is to get it in, keep fingers crossed & hope for the best.

You're going to lose nothing.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Id do same as DD, as long as it gets a hard frost it should be ok :)

Many thanks for all the answers. Elaine I've only just signed up for the news letter, we move house in 9 days so planting in the ground is not an option but planting in pots is.

Could anyone please kindly forward that newsletter to me if I pm my email address.
