Bloody cold in the greenhouse. Dropped from 6 to 4 whilst I was working in
there. Spent 2 hours and my toes, fingers and bum all felt like they were going to drop off! Managed to pot up all of the lavender that we bought for Nick's bees a few weeks ago that have been sitting out in the cold feeling unloved. 50p for 6 plants, in various conditions. Had 4 lots of them. Got 14 good ones that look like they will survive, the rest are put together in a pot of mostly dead ones. Planted 6 garlic cloves that had sprouted and weren't put in the garlic bread last night into tall pots. Have to confess, I don't know how garlic grows. Onions you plant near the surface and just kinda swell up. BUt garlic should be deeper? But does it go further down, or grow from where the clove is planted? Anyhow. Then I split and potted up the Accidental Cabbages (which are Portugese cabbage, iirc - which got wet in the packet last autumn and sprouted, so I put them all into a pot and assumed they would die, but they have come along well. So now I have about 30 little cabbages in pots. Time to defrost my bum. -- |

So the grown bulb will be under the ground and will need digging up, it will not push up above ground like an onion/shallot. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

Hence why I hae a whole row of new garlic plants this year where last year's were. :-) |
