For those garlic experts that are on here 
Is my garlic doing ok?
At the moment i am watering them at night if the soilfeels dry.
Do they need fed anything? some on the tips have a bit of browning is this them being scolded by the sun? will this effect them n' will they recover?
Thanks once again

They look fine Lucy, the tips on garlic do go brown, it is normal I think. You can feed them but put it around and between the bulbs, not on the bulbs themselves.
Thanks, Just wanted to check, as i have know knowlegde of growing (as you and many on here know
)
Trust me Lucy, I'm only just ahead of you, which means I was wondering about the same sort of things not too long ago.
Very pleased with my first attempt at growing garlic, solent wight planted in the allotment last October growing well and some shop bought garlic apparently a product of china which were started off in pots undercover and then transplanted into the allotment in February are now growing very strongly.
Wuw i really need to learn to read over what i have typed and to stop multi tasking. On here i typed "know" instead of "No" while on the document i have typed "No" instead of "Know" lol!
TGIF!
Barry I'm glad to hear your garlic is doing well, mine is just shop bought ones
Problem with shop bought garlic it is likely from abroad and is probably not suited to our climate. Tried it myself and the results just don't compare with that bought from seed retailers.
