Just took delivery of bulbs/cloves for the coming season from The Garlic Farm(y).

The 9 cloves of Wight Early Purple went straight into the planters. Pack included 12 cloves of Elephant garlic, they're HUGE :nailbiting:

Just another variety of garlic, need to plant it twice the distance apart as normal varieties.

Pretty pleased with my first garlic efforts this year, which went well despite my stick it in the ground and more or less ignore. Next season I'm trying to do everything right so it'll probably be a disaster.

Some Longor shallots in the pack so another first attempt.

Last of the autumn/winter varieties (Red Duke and Provence) now planted along with half of the Langor shallots. Many thanks to my springer for his 'help' NOT:banghead:
