Last winter we planted our first Garlic in one of our raised beds. They protected by a mesh giving virtually no frost protection but does serve to keep the chickens and pheasants etc off.
Took this image yesterday to check progress. There has been reasonable growth despite the longest cold spell for many years and very little foliage damage despite being covered with snow for weeks on end.
Tough stuff that garlic

Garlic looks beautiful! Things have really sped up here at our farm. Good luck with the season, hopefully it'll be a great one despite the trying weather.
Hi
Thanks for that, we have just seen spring starting the past couple of days, very late but no doubt will catch up
We planted our garlic in autumn before we knew what the winter would bring. Despite plenty snow it seems to have survived ok, along with the onions that went in at the same time. The only problem is we don't think we planted enough! Agnieszka.
