Good job you didn't replant. <br />My onions and garlic planted last year did nothing and because of the issues that kept me out of the garden this year I thought they'd failed. However, just this week there are green shoots shooting up in the middle of all the weeds {yes, I have weeds} Time will tell now.

I popped them into the veg garden. They grew but I forgot they were there when they died down. After reading your post I suddenly remembered and rushed out to find them sprouting again.<br />i will suggest to Brenda that if she wants some garlic I can pull some of the sprouts. I am sure my suggestion will be received with derision!. Perhaps you or Mark have tried cooking with garlic 'in the green'?Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-65773938380644259812015-11-20T14:32:17.905+00:002015-11-20T14:32:17.905+00:00Ah well, you win some, you lose some, and this tim...Ah well, you win some, you lose some, and this time it was your turn to win!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-31301207940892007962015-11-20T13:52:55.693+00:002015-11-20T13:52:55.693+00:00Excellent, it's wonderful when there's a g...Excellent, it's wonderful when there's a good surprise waiting at the plot isn't it.
