Our first garlic

[mhrfm]

Our first ever garlic harvest and haul, and we’re super pleased with what we’ve gathered as first time gardeners. Growing your own veg is so fulfilling and exciting. We’re loving it.

What a beautiful website, house, garden, life you are living. I shall enjoy taking my time to explore it all.

Thank you peanut. That’s very kind of you.

Nice looking garlic mhrfm. The rounds (which didn't split into cloves) can be planted for next year and will probably make extra large bulbs. Also will you be using some of the biggest cloves to re-plant. That way your crop should start to become acclimatised to your locality, ours is currently 4th generation.

I always save garlic to grow next year too as Mr Bones suggested

I was always told runner beans were the same - you'd end up with locally acclimatised seed (as you select the strongest seeds to keep for next year)

I like it. Your harvest looks nice and it seems to be one of the best I've seen this year. You are a good gardener, that's a great job. Wish you luck in future gardening.

Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, I was considering using the cloves again, but wasn’t sure whether I could. Based on your comment I definitely will.

This year they’ll go into my raised beds, which won’t be alkaline. Will that be a problem?

Thank you Beatrice. I think I’ll put it down to beginners luck to be honest. I didn’t do much. The test will be season two.
