Last weekend we finally drove out to the country and I had a chance to check my fall planted garlic bed. It was quite sad sight. Only the unknown Russian had survived pretty well. There was no growth on Ornak and Morado, just one Elephant garlic from 36 planted had signs of life and the others had significant losses. Last winter was bad for many plants, so it was not a surprise, but still it felt quite depressing.
Luckily I had the spring planted ones to fill the gaps. I will definitely do this refrigerator vernalization and spring planting also in future for varieties, which I do not want to loose in case of bad winter.
