Surprise find

I pulled up what I thought was a dead spring onion from the pear tree pot, only to find that it was garlic I had planted the winter before last. Apparently leaving it for an extra year meant I got a decent size bulb!

I don't know if it'll work, but I'm seriously considering leaving my garlic in for an extra year in order to see if that's how I can get decent bulbs in future because I have so much trouble trying to grow them in a single year like everything says you're meant to.

It can't hurt to give it a go.
