HeatherYou can stick plain old grocery store garlic cloves in the ground and they will grow fine. But it's mostly softneck. For garlic lovers who don't love having to peel lots of fiddly little cloves, hardneck is a step up. This is a broad category of garlic which has got only one layer of large cloves around a central stem. None of those fiddly little inner cloves. The down side is hardneck doesn't keep as well. Or so I've always read but we've never had any problem with it keeping through the year. I dry them in the garage and then store them in egg cartons in the pantry.
Then there's the two up-cycled recycling bins. One is on it's third year of growing oca (New Zealand yams) and still going strong. I just tuck the little ones back into the soil after I harvest in the Winter. They've got no local pests or diseases to speak of; no need to rotate so long as I keep improving the soil
The second bin has still got beans. I left the last few pods to mature and dry on the vines. Next it will be garlic - I can plant about ten cloves in there. I just bought a few hardneck garlic bulbs - I'll stick the excess into the front garden beds wherever they fit.
My Winter #Gardening is pretty low key this year.
Raised Bed 1 - I have been converting into an herb garden. It will mostly be left to it's own devices. The perennial herbs are doing their thing and some of the annuals have self seeded.
Raised Bed 2 - I left several parsley around the edges, and the perennial garlic chives. Planted out some rainbow sliverbeet (aka chard) in the middle.
Raised Bed 3 - is getting the cover crop treatment. Mix of mustard and blue lupins sewn a month ago, all coming up nicely.
