    The garlic will be ready for harvesting in a few weeks.

    • Ha, bet it’s nicer than shop bought! 🙂

      • How long does it keep for?

        • I’ve no idea…hang on…according to google, it lasts about a month just sitting around doing nothing, but if you put it somewhere warm and dry so that the skin-layer of leaves goes papery, it can last for several months.

          • I thought you were an experienced garlic grower but I see you’re a novice like us! At least yours has grown. Ours never showed its face!

            • The best I’ve managed is chives.
              One thing about the weather this year: the patches of meadow pea on the lane’s verges are larger than usual. Rich golden yellow flowers liked by bees.
