Garlic?

[threepeas]

hi

We planted our garlic in nov and it has been growing well above the soil, but the leaves have turned yellowy on the ends. I decided to dig down a little and see what was going on under the soil, but it has not made a bulb shape it is white ( looks more like the bottom of leeks!!) have i done anything wrong, or does it start grow into a bulb soon?

Sorry if this sounds silly but we are new to this!!!

They've got plenty of time yet threepeas. You won't be looking to harvest them until August time. I should give them a bit of a feed now(Growmore, or pelleted chicken manure spread around the plants but not touching them) and then again in May just to give them a helping hand.

I came on to ask exactly the same question as Threepeas...!

Also, the bottoms of mine arent very deep. Would I do any harm if I earted them up a bit or are the roots strong enough to hold them?

They will be fine. The roots will be several inches long.

Good to know, thanks. I was worried for the little fellas.
