When i originally planted my garlic i dug a hole and dropped them in, but a mixture (i think) of frost/snow and birds have pushed them out of the soil so i could see the roots, the soil is nice and moist at the moment so yesterday i gently pushed them back in and gathered a bit more soil around them. Hope this will stop the birds and with a bit more soil weighing them down stop the frost pushing them out again.

Garlic has been a round for thousands of years - it's pretty tough stuff.
I finally managed to plant mine out at the weekend - they'd been in pots in an open greenhouse since last year and are about 2-3 inches tall now. Good root growth on them.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

I planted 44 cloves of garlic at the back end of November last year, 43 have sprouted and have a good 4-6 inches of growth on them. I did get slightly worried when they where sat under a foot of snow for nearly a week but it doesn't seem to have done them any harm.
I can only hope everything else I plant this year has such a good germination rate
It was dark. And cold. And very, very empty.
And in the middle of all of the dark, cold, emptiness lay something darker, and colder, but very, very full.Comment
