Allium sativum

First garlic of the year. Planted in the autumn. Good size considering the onions planted next to them have onion root fly and that they had rust.

Looks great 👏 @stephaniewatkins

Hope mine look this good

That looks amazing. What type is it, mine are ok but bit on the small side.

@sandraescapes I'm afraid I don't know. They were given to me by my Portuguese allotment neighbour whom I think got them from Spain. Anyway, they're much bigger than the ones I planted from the local garden centre. Will keep one bulb for replanting in the autumn.

Terrific that is show material! 🏆

Hi ive always wanted to grow garlic but the one time i tryed it just went in to flower with nothing below ?? did i plant it to low in thenground

@juneees make sure you plant them in the autumn for good sized bulbs. Generally the reason it will flower is lack of water. Keep them watered during the Spring. To be fair I am lazy and plant them October/November and then just leave them to do their own thing.

Great pic 😊😊😊
