Care for Onions and Garlic

(1/16) > >>

boxingtortoise:
Just planted a load of onions and garlic yesterday, about a centimetre under the soil, which i had put chicken manure on a week previously.
What do i need to do now? Do they need watering at all, or re-fertilising?

teresa:
Ah good point got mine to go in as well hope others will give up some tips

Hiya  :)

Fret not..all seems ok to me.  Hope for a cold thnap and they should romp away.

Mrs Ava:
Mine are in, I gave them a good water when I first planted them as the ground was like dust, but we have since had lashings of rain so touch wood...they should be doing the business.  :P
I was watching old Monty on Friday last and he was out planting his garlic and he said that they need a good cold spell to make them split into cloves.  I didn't know that!  :o  What would you do with a clove of garlic the size of a regular bulb for goodness sakes!  ;D  

merv:
Umm,  :)

When planting out you divide the bulb into cloves and the cloves are planted...right?  What I think you saw was if you were to plant them in your greenhouse, they would need to be in the fridge for a while and then the whole bulb was planted.( not split into cloves)
