Robert,

Like Jason I'm new to gardening, so apologies if this is a daft
comment/question.

I grew a few garlic plants this year and the bulbs, whilst very 'powerful'
in flavour were small. I only planted the bulbs in March/April and I have
since been told that I they should have been in the ground on the shortest
day of the year ie 21 (?) December - is this an 'old wives tale'? If not,
will they survive a winter outside?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,


Andrew

Over wintering onion sets can be planted soon and broad bean seeds can be
sown in October/November depending on where you live. Spring cabbage
plants
could still be planted, if you can get hol;d of some plants. Don't forget
to
net them against pigeons. Oh and garlic can be planted in the autumn
