A few weeks ago, we dug up a bulb of garlic - only to be disappointed with its size. It had been planted in autumn 2004, and we thought the paucity of the soil led to the smallness of the bulb. But a few heavy rain falls have made all the difference and now that the top foliage has died back, Andy lifted the crop this morning.
We harvested about 21 bulbs, all of good size. They've been trimmed, washed and when they're dry, I'll attempt to plait them into something rustically decorative.
