moving garlic

[hawthorns]

i ve recently planted my garlic, but ive had a brainwave about moving my garden around. so can it be moved now or will i lose it

[BrideXIII]

erm i suppose it depends on how long ago you planted it?

mine has been in pots for about 2 - 3 weeks, and i moved it today, the roots were lovely, planted it out into ridged beds.

its been in about 10 days. no shoots have poked thru yet

if it was me, and I know nothing, i would at least wait until they showed signs of life before moving them.

Nah, you can move them anytime. The growing energy is stored in the bulb - I've moved both onions and garlics several times during the year and they just carry on a few weeks later. if they have deep roots then try and move them all but 10 days is nothing.

I agree word for word........I was even going to start my reply with Nah.....

The golden rule when moving something, is to do it when it's dormant (or at least not when it's growing like mad).

Least disturbance, that way
