Growing garlic (2): Update


Well, the sun was out for a few moments this weekend, so stopped by to see how things are going. The garlic seems to have survived. A few chew marks from the rabbits, but all the cloves I planted in October are still going. Can't wait to see how they turn out.


The leeks however seem to have been the main course for the rabbits. A few bits are still sticking out, but most have completely disappeared. From the 25 I planted, only 7 remain.


Oh well. I replanted the survivors next to the garlic plot and put up some netting to try and discourage further foraging. Don't know if it will work, but better than nothing. Last time they tried tunneled under it. Not quite a rabbit proof fence.

Garlic and leeks
Hmm. Safe? We'll have to wait and see.
