earl,
nootka rose didn't do so well last year. half of my garlic just didn't bulb up very well.
it was my first year spring planting, also first year in a raised bed put together with some boards. mix was about a 50:50 mix of topsoil, and horse manure. early growth was really good. i will be paying closer attention to watering, and will have a good mulch cover this year for weed, and moisture control. they will be going in the ground this fall.
i was still using nootka rose from 2008 earlier this year, still in good shape. bugger to peel, but thats part of the deal i guess.
your results will probably be much better.
