Talkback: Still planting garlic

my Garlic in October. It is doing really well and I hope that it continues. Last years crop along with the onions and shallots were victims of some kind of airborne disease. This killed the leaves so all had to be lifted before they reached maturity by delaney

Marigolds in the veg patch

and carrots need to be apart and I grow shallots or onions as a shield for parsley "carrot" fly. Fill ice cube trays with water, push a borage flower into each cube, put in ice box. Simples! Ecky thump. We Cornish simpletons would never have thought by Verdun

Talkback: Harvesting garlic

Doesn't the smell just make you want to get cooking when you harvest garlic, Pippa? Same with onions and shallots. I have a slatted table so will do the same with mine. Thanks for the tip - I hadn't thought of that. No sign of rust here either by joey woosey
