The garlic plants have developed very well over the past three weeks on the propagator and in the house. The leaves have grown to a height of 15-18 inches and the bulbs are starting to swell. There is not much more that can be done until the weather outside improves and they can be planted into the soil. Once the risk of frost has passed they will be planted in a sheltered area of the garden.
The garlic plants have developed well but space in and around the propagators is short so i have decided to move them into the greenhouse and put them onto self watering trays using capillary matting. The self watering trays are sitting on a heated sand bed so this will hopefully ensure the plants get a supply of 'warm' water rather than cold water. This should help the garlic plants adjust to the somewhat colder environment of the greenhouse as to the house where they have been for the past few weeks.
