GM! ☕️ How are you today? 🫂💜

It's December and I almost forgot about the last but very important planting of garlic. Despite the overnight frost, the soil is not frozen and I managed to dig in 2 types of spring and winter garlic with no problems. The winter one is my favourite, it is planted from November until the soil is not frozen. The harvest is generally in June 🧄🧄🧄

Winter garlic is more spicy and hardy. The heads in the photo are my garlic this year dug up in June and as you can see it is in excellent condition. It hasn't dried out, it hasn't rotted there is no mould on it. I can't imagine garlic from the shop surviving as well for six months 😂

If you have the space, time and inclination I recommend planting it in the garden.

What fertilizer do you use? Garlic is a very very hungry plant.

I don't use fertiliser, I use crop rotation. Onions are not planted directly after fertiliser, but for example after cucurbit vegetables. This year I grew cucumbers in this bed, so it was topped with compost and granular manure, then I sowed a catch crop (winter rye and mustard)
