Not only did I not plant enough but what I did plant has grown really poorly. I think it needs more sun than I can give it unfortunately. I was able to grow a full years supply up until a couple of years ago but over the last couple of years (since my neighbours trees grew that bit taller) have been a lot more challenging.

I haven't had great success in the past but bought a bulb of Purple Wight as well as onion sets at a recent RHS show. Will definitely be getting the string tin out for my planting, got to keep the (neighbours) cats off!

I need to cut some celery and freeze it today, before it gets frozen in the ground.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-40413366307758240612013-10-24T06:20:37.287-04:002013-10-24T06:20:37.287-04:00Last year I bought some garlic for planting, but w...Last year I bought some garlic for planting, but when it arrived it was all mouldy and I had to ask for a replacement (which was duly provied FOC), which proves the point that even the biggest firms can have issues like the one you encountered.Let's hope that the "B-team" garlic does OK!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-7091311609415033922013-10-23T18:42:20.867-04:002013-10-23T18:42:20.867-04:00Darned animals in the garden!

I had to move the lettuce cage over to cover my spinach seedlings, as the squirrels were digging them up to bury walnuts. They even uprooted a recently planted raspberry cane! I've never seen so many squirrels in the past and I fear I'll have hundreds of walnut trees growing by spring. <br /><br />That's too bad about the garlic. I know smaller onion sets make larger onions, maybe you'll find the same happens with garlic cloves. You can always hope!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-84257650261171708932013-10-23T18:04:48.517-04:002013-10-23T18:04:48.517-04:00That is some vigorous Mold.
