Onion and garlic questions

[Florence Fennel]

Good luck with it Garlicgirl. I'm glad I looked into this thread, I quite fancy growing garlic chives, will have a look for some later. I haven't grown as much garlic this year, I'm finally learning to limit my plans.

Pumpkin Becki i'm pretty sure after all the answers my garlic is waaaay to deep. It was the clay soil/sandy soil depths that got me. I am going to do 2 things that are suggested in this thread: scrape a layer off and failing that furtling sounds like fun. I know the garlic i put in pots was doing well with plenty of root growth & i planted this better so fingers crossed we'll get some garlic this year otherwise i'll have to change my name to something like weedgirl6k as i'm pretty cool at growing the junk lol.

Thanks again ev1 for the advice. But to the person bragging about their 6" shoots!!!!! lol

Excellent! Best of luck with it
