Garlic and the birdies
« on: April 07, 2011, 19:30 »
Been down to the plot and the pesky pigeons have pulled out the garlic and left it.  Its now fallen over but the roots are still attached to the soil.

Shall I give them up as a bad job or reseat them? I've still plenty from last year but do love it to hand.
