    I planted my garlic about 4 weeks ago and it hasn't come up yet. Do you think it's a lost cause?

          some of them look to have a broad leaf,ordinary garlic has thin leafes like the onions,and the bulbs themselfes are different,while they both have a 3 sided appearance,elephant garlic is much bigger,anyhow,good look with your growing,what ever you got,it's all edible and tasty,
          just remembered,when i first saw my EG growing,i thought how alike it looked to tulip leaves,only EG grows a whole lot taller,

            the reason i planted 2 types was after planting the first i was shopping in the local asian supermarket for my weekly curry fix and noticed that some of the garlic on sale was huge ,so hopefully it will return large bulbs fingers crossed

                    hollychap,my Elephant garlic are only about 75mm tall,my Marco garlic are 250mm tall,Wilkinsons garlic 150mm tall but my Solent Wight are only just breaking the surface.
                    All varieties were planted the same day so it seem some varieties are faster developing than others
                    He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame
