....update on the garlic sprouting....got a lot of roots and shoots except the little one at the front which still only has roots....it's one of my homegrown ones from this year, so maybe it's just a bit slower....

....went to visit some friends in the Cotswolds at the weekend and visited a local Long Barrow burial mound on the way home....there was a bat sleeping in one of the chambers which was a lovely surprise....

....second round of garlic planting today....separated the rooted cloves and planted the best 50....we have about 90 in the ground in total now....will crop end of June next year....will hopefully put another 20-30 in over the next few weeks....aiming for about 120 in total....

....got this strange splitting/ bending on our leeks....anyone got any ideas what may be causing it?....

....went to a big bonfire and firework display at a nearby village this evening....the weather was kind to us, the folk in the village did a great display and the bonfire was enormous....a great time was had by all....🔥
