February 15th and virtually all the snow has gone from this laurel and the rest of from the garden. I had made a raised bed so months ago so today I planted some garlic cloves Allium Germidour. The variety was recommended for Northern Europe but to be safe I also started some cloves in pots in the greenhouse. I fed the soil with some Super Phosphate fertiliser at 2 oz to the square yard because in the past I have struggled with Garlic and phosphates are good for roots and bulbs.
- I have saved some cloves to plant in April near my roses to try deter greenfly.
- I also planted some garlic in Autumn and I will see which of the 3 methods works best.
