I pulled the heavy layer of leaf mulch off my garlic and shallots today, gave it its annual top dressing of blood meal, then put about half the leaf mulch back on. Out of 102 garlic cloves planted, 101 are up. So far so good, but it's still early....
I could only find shoots from 1/2 the shallots, but it's often slower to sprout than the garlic.
Hoping it's a good garlic year for all!
