I noticed that the garlic seed plants from last year had re sprouted

The ones I had potted up for the market,

They died down, disappeared over summer.

Several times I nearly reclaimed the dirt..........

.........thank goodness for labels!

Then I though OK if they have sprouted...

What has happened to the ones I parked in the paddock?

I am a bit shocked by the weeds, where have I been?

Where is the garlic?

There they are.

Now I have to be careful when I weed to reveal the garlic

 the weeds blend so well.

Stella puppy is also a danger down here, nice sandy digging

She did dig one up

These 1 year old bulbils are now the size of a pickled onion and will be a guaranteed big clove

when replanted in fresh ground and left till December.

I will leave them where they are for now until I have prepared the new ground.

Garlic should be always planted in fresh ground.

We have a market free weekend coming up so there is a chance it might happen. 

Yesterday I accidentally pulled up a freesia when weeding with gusto.

I hadn't realised they had come up.

I am still in summer mode, not spring bulbs.

Made me think that I really need to start planning for spring.

I have to confess I came inside and did an online bulb order while the thought was fresh in my mind.

Cheques in the mail.

I am excited.
