Six big cloves are now in the bed next to the Marco Polo garlic which was planted five weeks ago, they sprouted quickly and are now six inches high, once harvested and dried they should keep for up to a year. These shallow beds were filled with compost for the strawberry plants but there were only enough plants to fill half the beds so there’s been lots of space available for the garlic. Collected the last load of rubble for a while, there are lots of bags to empty and the contents will need leveling. Heavy rain overnight followed by a sunny day with a chilly wind.
