Post by: artichoke on February 03, 2015, 18:42:23: Elephants are so slow to show above ground....congratulations! My normal garlics were up in November, but I don't expect the elephants until March.....but I have not visited them since December so maybe they are there. Elephants, once up, give such an encouraging look to an allotment with their strong thick green leaves. I wish the weather would warm up....
