Hide, Gary!

My garlic has sprouted, which in my blissful ignorance I'm pleased
about. In the past it has usually died back in the winter to sprout anew
in the spring, but the last 2 winters have been warm enough that it
never died back.

I don't get store bought sized heads, but it sure is good. (Of course, I
also get tator tots when I grown potatoes, unless I plant them in planters.

If you give it a good shot of N while the foliage is growing in early
spring, plus potash when the bulbs are forming, you'll likely do better.
Of course, smaller garlic tends to be more pungent as well as store better,
so unless you really think size matters, why bother?

My pride was wounded a bit this weekend: Some folks came up to get stuff
I'd put on Craig's list (two ....erm... mature households merging have a
LOT of extra "stuff!"), and noticing my email (think garygarlic in the
first part), brought a nice bulb of "music" they'd grown. Fully twice the
size of mine.

Oh, well... as the Senators fans used to say, "Wait 'til next year."

One of the best parts of gardening - next year. I sold at a small
farmers market for a few years but would never take my garlic - MINE!
All mine! One farmer sold elephant garlic - huge things, but it
aappeared to only have one clove?

For fertilizing, I tend to stick with compost and manure and/or herbal
teas. I tried to cure tomato blight with garlic tea one year - didn't
work entirely, but I had tomatoes to sell into August so who knows?

Rooted, yes but why sprouted garlic before winter. If sprouted garlic

It seems you're asking a theorhetical... only one way to find out

Your ignorance of the accepted short version of an English County and your

yourself by spouting on adamantly about your way of growing garlic which has
no relevance for the UK and the OP at all.
Then you persist in blaming everyone else and
twisting/misreading/misunderstanding their comments to continue your silly
diatribe for some strange reason known only to you, and with every new post
you confirm my thoughts about you.

I apologize. Shelly really isn't one of us. He would rather be a jack
booted Israeli chasing Palestinian children around with a tank. If
you want to come and take him and give him a good hiding, we will

I'm thinking people here are close to my target audience, being that
garden lovers usually like ponds even if they don't personally have
one.

Thank You,

Elephant Garlic is actually related to Leeks and isn't a true Garlic, the
taste is not that of true Garlic either IMO. Mind you some years ago whilst
in Cyprus we came across enormous true Garlic being sold in the market, wish
I'd bought some to try here in the UK but it probably wouldn't have done
well.


For fertilizing, I tend to stick with compost and manure and/or herbal
teas. I tried to cure tomato blight with garlic tea one year - didn't work

We use Bordeaux Mixture sprayed on our plants to ward off the Blight, works
well provided you keep it topped up if it rains hard for a few days and is
easily washed off the fruit before use. Most of our Tomatoes are used for
cooking so are skinned anyway. We picked our last outdoor Tomatoes on
Sunday, amazingly late, after the plants were killed by a frost.

Kate, something I've experimented with on the tomato blight, with great
success, is spraying the foliage/plant with ionic silver. A human friendly,
and very potent fungicide. I believe if I'm consistent with applications, I
might be able to get it knocked down almost entirely. Though before you
think, *oh my*, 30$ a gallon spraying 30 plants at about 2 gallons an
application, check this out for ionic silver, (at about a dollar a gallon).
It's the Collgen2 I use to make a 6 PPM solution.
http://www.health2us.com/colloid.htm Fred Peschel has really designed an
impressive little unit that works a treat and is not unreasonably expensive.
I also use the silver to treat a well and it is 100% effective at
eliminating bacteria in the water system. Ionic silver is a real cure.

Thanks fr the idea, Steve. Maybe I'll get the starter bottle for next
season and see how it does before I make the bigger investment. I was
planning on letting the tomato crop rest a year but maybe...have you
tried treating the soil itself so would that be basicly polluting the soil?
