You may remember that last year I planted garlic in three different ways. I posted about it here. One lot was planted directly in the ground on the plot, another lot was planted in small pots to be transplanted onto the plot later and a third lot was planted in tubs that were like the pots kept in our cold garden greenhouse to be lifted outside at a later date.
i'm harvesting the first few lots of my garlic at the moment. Strangely none of my hardneck garlic has flowered though. Not enough sun I suspect. It is forming okay-ish heads though.
It sounds like a sensible approach. I'm always pleased when I hear of something doing well in containers, as it means that so many more people can enjoy gardening. There's many people without gardens or places to grow veg, but most people have room for a container or two.

ReplyDeleteStory of our lives here this year, Liz - not enough sun.
DeleteI still have to get my garlic in. I am hoping to do it this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThen we just have to hope it grows don't we?
DeleteThat's what I do every time I plant something!!

ReplyDeleteAt least I can stop the garlic in containers from being waterlogged, Jo which they are at risk of on the plot!
