I don't bother growing garlic any more,
More hastle than it's worth, especially when it's so cheap in the shops.
i used to get really bad rust on the leaves and the bulbs were never that big either.

I grow more shallots instead as i find them more expensive to buy.

I think we all have something we are destined not to grow....
For you it is garlic, for me it is beetroot!

I think women who say size doesnt matter are just shallow

Sorry Goosegirl - its an old Stewart Francis joke I came across last week. It seemed to fit the topic under discussion:)

I think it went over her head bigben 

Anyway back to my garlic - think I might as well lift it now and use as green garlic but what to put in the gap?

How about some swedes or calabrese? Or beans of some sort.
