garlic help

If you've got too many to store then roast them whole, snip off the top from each clove, and squeeze out the paste. This will freeze well. As the garlic won't have been chopped first it won't be as strong as you might be used to. In my opinion it can be used 'as is' a instead of apple sauce with pork, but if frozen into cubes (don't contaminate your ice tray!) they can be dropped into whatever you are cooking as required.

You'd think the fat bulbs would be best but I'm not sure so I plant the tiddlers too.

I've thought about this and the clove is just the stored energy/neutrients to get the plant going the next year.

Once the bulb has got roots it doesn't matter as it then grows from what the roots take up.
When you harvest, the original clove has gone/been used up.

Just a thought not tested this theory but might just do that next year, i may plant small cloves in one set of rows and larger cloves in the other rows.

thanks will plant them and see what happens I have seen them gadgets in lakeland but did not know they really worked must get one next time

I plant all sizes.
It probably has some effect, but I cant imagine its that important.

I'm planting some saved Music from this year's harvest, and some Early Purple Wight.
None of the seed cloves delivered of EPW were as big as the home grown Music ones.

Enough said I think
