Garlic is a delicious ingredient to savoury cooking

It is also healthy eating.

Eat healthy,keep fit, die anyway.


Planted mine middle of October. Can't stand the stuff myself but the
wife likes it and it keeps the vampires away. (I'm in northern Germany,
about 1,000 km closer to Transylvania than you.)

I also planted winter onion sets for the first time at the same as the
garlic. They're looking OK.
