garlic growers
hi i love garlic and since visting the garlic farm last summer on the isle of wight i decided to grow it myself this year,in the 2nd year of my allotment.
i have elephant garlic (from the garlic farm) which was £9 for 9 cloves,
and 15 solent garlic ..
its all growing well ,elephant garlic was planted end of 0ct 09,,,,solent in feb.
elephant garlic leaves on tips have gone a little bit yellow which i understand is lacking in nitrogen,so going to add some blood and bone meal soon...
any tips drop a note
Solent Wight
Hi garlic growers. I noticed on your introductory part that you've been growing some Solent Wight, its a small world, because I ordered some from the same farm you visited earilier in the year, just started harvesting them - delicious and doing very well here. :)
Rust, rust and yet more rust
Being Italian I have long grown garlic in my garden.
Twenty years of mucking, sanding, and seaweeding (??) has not endeavoured to make the blue clay any more tractable so that my cloves have never reached any significant size. still, I was able to have fresh garlic and was content.
HELP!!!!
Hi
I have just found the onion galic and shallots i brought to plant in Autumn, but couldn't find them at the time so I didn't.
Does anybody know if I am too late to plant these now.(Obviously once the snow has gone), or am i just best scrapping them and getting fresh for spring?
They are
Picardy wight garlic
Electric - red onion sets
Picasso shallots
Thanks hellsbells
Blood fish and bone.
The above is slow releasing, you are much better off feeding them with a nitrogen based food such as growmore!!!!
