Yesterday was a rather late garlic planting day. We already had two rows that Rebecca planted a few weeks ago, but spent yesterday preparing the ground and planting more. There were:
5 bulbs of Solent Wight
5 bulbs of Early Purple
5 bulbs of Iberian Wight
5 bulbs of Lautrec Wight
5 bulbs of Albigensian Wight
8 cloves of Elephant Garlic
It doesn't sound a lot except the solent has 10-12 cloves per bulb and the others 6-8. The elephant garlic was per bulb but they grow to about 7 inches across.
I make that over 200 garlic bulbs that we should have early summer. Maybe we have over done it, or as we like to call it 'done a courgette'!
