Garlic Growing Well!

Checking the allotment on a beautiful sunny early spring day, the garlic are growing strong. I estimate there is about 45 bulbs growing of both types (~90 total). The onions are less strong looking but should be producing a good crop. It will be interesting when the weather gets warmer, if the onions pick up and grow faster. We shall see.

Winter Has Come – COLD!

As I predicted back in November, winter has arrived in February. With Arctic winds coming down and from the east. It got down do around -30 in Poland, and -12 here, but things seem to be surviving. I’ve even seen bulbs yesterday that had been growing like it they thought it was spring, actually still going and starting to flower! I’m more confident now that the garlic and onions will survive till the real spring. I’m not sure how long this winter blast will last, but I am slightly worried that this is a sign that winter will drag out and spring and summer will be delayed or be a wash out.
