Hi tahsocks I know you didn't mean that , I was only joking . You are right the sun/light levels have been very poor this year. But only 4 months to next year ,2012 must be a good one

Thanks guys, I have been reading up a bit on them and it seems the original info I aquired was a little misleading, apparently they do not like long days of sunlight as their natural environment has shorter days during summer, so it is best to grow them early in the season or late, if you do...

Thank you! I did really well with most of my garlic but got a three or four rounds. My entire garden is likely to be garlic next year as I just bought new different bulbs. I'm getting all excited about it again
