plastic fantastic?

Hi DDL, I could well be wrong, but I thought the garlic had to be out in the cold to make it 'split' into cloves?

Oops! Back outside they go! Dexterdog

No problem DDL - I haven't planted mine yet but since it hasn't got cold here I am not too worried. Just wish we could get 2 dry days in a row so I could get into the darned garden!

Our weather has been extremely wet as well. When I was a student at Cardiff Uni - I went into town four days in a row in the first week - and it tipped it down everyday! The weather did improve though! Dexterdog

LOL I have a 2 hour drive to get to Cardiff - never go there to do shopping, just to drop off/pick up OH at the airport!!!

Been colder here today - might get another dry day and actually plant the garlic!!

Think you can get the plastic covers for mini greenhouses on amazon, in fact I just had a wee check and you can. Prices start at about £4, need a replacement cover for my three tier one, was hoping to be able to just patch it up but its looking real tattie now. Can't recomend them enough, mine was well worth the mere £15 pounds I spent on it 3 or 4 years ago. Did buy one of the larger 6'x8' plastic greenhouses, but that didn't survive so well, the plastic joining fixturie thingys got very brittle and broke, and because its bigger its harder to keep tied down and secure.
