Heavy rain and garlic?

[selfraising]

My garlic is outside at the moment planted up in individual pots. We are expecting heavy rain over the next 3 days, up to 40mm a day. Do I leave them outside or should I bring them into the shed?

Leave em be - mine have been in pots outside since November. They'll be fine.

Planning on leaving mine out too

Okay, saves me going outside, all the excuse I need!!

Just make sure there are holes in the bottom of the pot or they will sail away

Garlic, like onions I think, doesn't like having a soggy bottom, just make sure they're well drained.

If you find you do, there are a number of products available that can help.

Have decided not to risk the soggy bottom and moved the garlic into the shed for now
