Garlic

I have just put 5 cloves in a pot and chucked some compost on.

I have labelled it, but i have a feeling it will be lurking in my greenhouse for some time till it does anything.

Do i need to do anything else? I am hoping to get some raised beds made over this summer so when they are ready should i just uproot what i have just planted? or should i leave them in the tub to get on with it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Taskey, you might be a little late for spring planting now, you could try putting it in the coldest part of the fridge for a week or so then plant it straight out into the ground to make it think it's earlier in the year. If you don't try, you'll never know

ok, thanks

I've read that it needs a long period of below 5 degrees to break into cloves as it matures
