I'm (if I can buy some) hoping to plant my garlic today. I'm sure I read strawberries and garlic grow well together. Can anyone confirm this before I get my spade out?
I planted mine yesterday, maybe not conventional but I start mine in small pots and when they start to grow I plant them in the garden, the birds then seem to leave them alone.
Planted my garlic about a week ago. Managed to get 21 in a reusable grow bag and a couple of Elephant Garlic in pots. Despite the constant rain and lack of sun, shoots have sprouted about 2 inches above soil. Looks good so far.
Clari, had a look in my companion planting book and can't find anything about garlic & strawberries. Garlic great with roses, strawberries and spinach happy together...book is 10yrs old
Planted mine as single, split cloves 3 weeks ago. Like Ian the nut, stems are 3-4" up now and looking very healthy. I read somewhere that they need a hard frost to encourage the bulb to grow and split into its cloves so, fingers crossed now the temperature's dropping.

Thanks KEF! I think perhaps I've my garlic and onion muddled up so I'll have a rethink.
Right. Best get the wellies out!

I'm going to be planting some garlic in a week or two, so I hope I'm not too late! Good luck with your garlic!
