need help

[lavender lou]

i know this may seem stupid

i've planted out my garlic into modules and i've just noticed that they were growing BUT the roots are at the top

Have i planted them upside down?

Because when i googled growing garlic i found a website that gave you instructions on how to plant them and so i followed it!!!!

Can you help me please?

LL

[lavender lou]

i've never grown garlic before!!

[sallym]

If the roots are at the top then they must be upside down, did you plant them pointy end up?

[lavender lou]

yes i did....whoops

shall go outside now and repot them all thanks sally

[sallym]

STOP!!!!Pointy end up is correct. Not sure what you mean now, are the things at the top def roots?

[HotStuff]

I did this by accident with some of my onions, any chance of a photo just to check?

[Eyren]

The roots should be white and fibrous, like thick hairs. If what you are seeing is a green pointy thing about the size of your little finger but flatter, that's the shoot!

Just made me laugh for the first time today. Thanks

Hope you get your garlic sorted LL

[sallym]

Blimey, you don't think she's out there replanting do you

[womble]

Just send her out again.

It's the garlic I feel sorry for, doesn't know if it's coming or going.

[sallym]

Oooo 'eck, Not back yet then? I have to go back to work soon. Gonna be fretting all afternoon that I've made Lou go out and plant all her garlic bulbs upside down.
Think I might stay away from the vine for a couple of days.

ha ha ha....that's soo funny
I had a squash seed that was growing upside down............umless they've got hairy heads

[lavender lou]

just come back in from repotting my garlic!!!!!

i'm still confused don't know whether i have done it right now!!!!

STOP!!!! are the things at the top def roots?
yes they were definately roots

The roots should be white and fibrous, like thick hairs. If what you are seeing is a green pointy thing about the size of your little finger but flatter, that's the shoot!

should the shoot be at the top or a the bottom i'm totally confused?

i also feel sorry for the garlic too its a good job only planted them in modules and not in the ground yet!

[womble]

Shoot = TOP side of the earth
