I'm at 54 metres above sea level and about 3 klms from the ocean and we have about 740 mm rain.It's a beautiful climate, with no frost----- everrrrr
Usually the garlic is planted around the Autumn Equinox, this year being 21 st March, but that new soil was late in delivery.Worth waiting for though!!Should have had more peat in it from a local bog, but I'm happy with it.Wanted to rotary hoe it into the existing soil, but didn't.I'll explain that later.The harvest is 6 months after planting, a little later if I want to save seed, which I did 2 years ago.There are quite a few, like hundreds of seedlings rowed out, this being their third year.I'm looking forward to digging those seedlings and seeing their quality.
Can't help myself--gotta grow stuff from seed!! Probably some type of medical condition
Your garlic must be quite different to mine, able to withstand a Michigan freeze?
One type that I grow is called ''Lune River'', favoured as a crop in Tasmania, where I lived for 12 years and had a small cherry orchard.I left Tassie 7 years ago.
