Hi,

I would like to grow garlic and any body has any experience with the variety
and when to grow them.

Best obtained from a seed merchant (Marshalls etc) , the ones in the shops
are often from hot countries and are not suited to our conditions in the UK.
Plant the individual cloves in open sunny ground in early October about 9
inches apart and leave to do their thing, keep them weeded.
We dug our up and cleaned them last week.
Just about the easiest and hardiest plant to grow.

Hi Raj,

You need to buy 'planting' garlic from a seed merchant this year, and get
it planted in Oct / Nov this year, for good size bulbs next year. I've got
my garlic for the last 3 or 4 years from Marshalls. They offer variaeties
such as Vitesse that do well in the UK.

HTH, Sarah

Hi,

Thanks for the advice.
