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.




Talk of pruning to death, house opposite, which is rented out in rooms, had
a decent sized Wisteria across the front of the house, been there decades.
This week someone, probably the "gardeners" the owner employs (ten mins max
to do both front and back gardens!), has pruned it buy cutting it off at
about 6ft above the ground. Just the large trunk left standing.
