    Hi All,

    This looks like a onion (no bulb at botom tho) - or is it a flower? Don't suppose anyone knows what it is?

        lol

        I'll give it a whiff this afternoon...

        If it is Garlic then it's done a lot better than the ones in the veg plot - too much rain and they got that brown spotty thing on the leaves.
