The garlic I planted in Feb has just died, and I need to pull it out now. While you can plant garlic at most times of year, Feb is the prime garlic planting time for the largest cloves in most of NSW. Also, you may not know that you can use the green tops in the same way you do green onions and chives. Just cut the green leaves off and chop to put in your cooking. The tops will grow back and you'lll get a nice mild garlic flavour in your salads and cooked dishes. Tara |

Tara I love it when I get online to ask a question, and not only has someone already asked it, but it's been answered! Now, to harvest my garlic! Tom |
