garlic

I dug up these garlics yesterday as the leaves were yellowing.  They were planted in March.  I will be putting aside the best bit from each bulb to replant in autumn and the rest I shall enjoy in the kitchen.  Garlic is so easy to grow and if you do not have a garden a container will do.  You would need good soil with plenty of compost.  I was told if you plant them amongst your flowering plants they will keep the nasty insects away.  I plant them so I don't have to buy the cheap, bleached and tasteless bulbs that the shop passed off as garlic.
