Whilst we mainly grow leaves of all shapes and sizes on our land, we're also going to be planting up a few other bits and bobs, to fill up our field and give us a few further options for salad related ideas next year! Here are all our garlic cloves, ready for planting.
Instead of growing these directly in compost, I shifted a bed of compost over to reveal a lovely patch of clean, weed free soil which the garlic cloves went in to. They are planted out in rows about 10 inches apart to allow for easy weeding later. The hardy cloves put on a little growth this year, before staying fairly dormant over the winter. We'll be harvesting them in June all being well.
