I planted it a couple of years on the trot in the veg bed using cloves from Lidl! Year 1 was pretty good. Year 2 was wetter & cooler, and the crop was very disappointing. Off to Lidl for a bulb later this week with the rest of the groceries, now!

gardengirl 11 Jan 11:23pm, 11 Jan 2021 19 posts	0 gardengirl Thanks for the garlic advice. Long warm summers aren’t really a thing around here so I might try some in the greenhouse and some in a raised bed under a cloche / cold frame.
