i must take more notice of things when looking around certain shops

think i will wait till the end of March to plant my Garlic after reading that link that David just put up, unless you have decent roots on them already, they might not grow through the winter, you planted yours already pipples so you will have decent roots on them to grip the soil through the frost and snow (see i do read things properly)

Mine next lot will be going in at the end of march..............

My seeds arn't going to be sowed indoors until late feb/march, iv got alsorts of flowers
Pity they dont have any flowers that cats cant stand, so the flea bitten things would stay out of my garden!

I usually think about sowing seeds in the third week of march , in a greenhouse . Don't sow your seeds too early , or you will end up with long weak plants , and it will be too cold to plant them out .

but...how do i get the shoots to grow on the garlic so i can just plant a bulb? do i put them in a warm place? cold place? room temperature?

Wow! You're a proper little Barbara Good, aren't you Flashy?

I wouldn't have a clue so can't offer any advice but best of luck with it.

I have an electric fence round my veg patch, runs off a 12 volt car battery, cats don't like it, I had one persistent little beggar who found a way to jump it, so I threaded some fine wire back and forth along the plot,
that taught it a lesson, you could see the foot prints in the snow, where it kept jumping up and down, each time landing astride the fine wire, till it escaped.
