Now an essential part of so many kitchen gardens, with excellent health benefits (lowering blood pressure, fat and cholesterol levels and combating infections). They couldn't be easier to grow, plant January to March and they'll be ready to lift and dry next July! Garlic Lovers' Collection contains 6 bulbs (1 pack of each variety):
Cledor (Softneck) - Improvement on an old French variety 'Rose du Var' originally from the South of France. Produces round white bulbs with strong skin and great flavour. Harvest late June-August. 250g pack (8-12 cloves per bulb.)
Flavor (French grown - hardneck) - An Italian pink type, produced in France, that matures in late July. The white skinned bulbs each contain 9-16 pretty pink cloves that store for a long time once opened. 250g pack (9-16 cloves per bulb.)
Picardy Wight (Softneck) - Adapted to cooler and wetter conditions, will grow anywhere in the UK that has proved a challenge to garlic. In its native region it is plaited and smoked due to its longevity. Harvested after mid July it will keep to May the following year. 2 bulbs (12-16 cloves per bulb.)
Plant garlic in rows in any well drained soil in full sun. It is important that the soil does not become waterlogged so incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve drainage and feed the soil. On particularly heavy soils, plant garlic in raised beds. Carefully split the bulb into individual cloves. Plant each clove at a depth of 2cm (1”) below the surface of the soil and 10cm (4”) apart, leaving 45cm (18”) between each row.
