Impressive tim!  I reckon we've got about half that much in total!

Bah and humbug.  The rot got the lot of mine this year so what was useable has been squished and frozen.  I shall grow it again next year but I am only growing purple as that seems to be better for me.

But I'm going to run out of fresh raised beds rather quickly.

Great garlic Tim :)

How deep did you plant the cloves? I planted at three different depths but no dramatic difference between the results that I could see.

Ours are a fair bit smaller than yours but ok on white/blush aspect; the biggest difference is that the leaves are seriously rusty - like our winter onions. I definitely don't want to plait them, anyone got a source for string bags? ;D

The only difference the depth of planting seems to make is that if they're too deep, the're more palaver to lift. My Solent Wights are bright orange with rust.

Just received my plaiting instructions from the Garlic Farm.  Now for the difficult bit!

If anyone wants a copy, I would try to e-mail one.
