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.
