Is it me or is everyone now selling IOW garlic to plant. Our finding is it
simply does not grow well on our very acid soil but considering where it's
grown on chalk that is not surprising. The hunting around begins again!

My aunt has an Indian gardener and he just plants his garlic in her garden,
does very well and lasts me all year.
He grows aubergines in her greenhouse.
He's pretty good, but prunes everything to death.
