sulphur smell

[chilli_grower]

About an hour ago I said to the missus:

"what is that smell of burning?"

"like someone has just lit a match" I said.

We tracked it down to the garlic drying out in the conservatory. It stinks of sulphur

Is this normal? If so any ideas why it smells of sulphur?

Up to now it has just smelled of garlic....

That's garlic's very own chemical weapon, CG. Take a look here

fascinating........

so my garlic is ok then I assume?!

Could be one or two are bruised or damaged, and that's why the sulphur is so strong. I'd check them over and any that are not firm and hard I'd plan to use soon.

Thanks for the advice
