Ours are smaller than we'd hoped this year, but its all good. Gosh, I adore garlic. Yuuuuuuuuuumy! We've never braided ours, though I do like the look of that. We trim our stems, but leave a few inches so they can seal off.

The year before had been a good year and others had had good harvests so we tried the following year, which wasn't a good year! We haven't had much luck with onions either though we have tried to grow them many times. Our best crop was when we followed a Charles Dowding suggestion and grew from seed and then planted out the seedlings in small groups/clumps. As the onions grew they pushed away from each other and did quite well. Not as large as ones grown singly but large enough for us. I don't know why we haven't tried this method again.clare.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246678101002977575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-54153817765810242322016-07-03T15:18:38.526-04:002016-07-03T15:18:38.526-04:00I've not been able to braid my garlic either. ...I've not been able to braid my garlic either. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
