I've suspected for some time now that I planted too much garlic. But it hasn't been the best year for garlic, and mine (like most people's) succumbed to rust. This, and the fact that I didn't have anywhere dry (who does???) to dry garlic out left me to leave it in the ground in the hope that the issue would somehow resolve itself.

This morning I realised that I own a greenhouse. Duh! And so despite the rain this afternoon I have been out in the garden harvesting the Thermidrome garlic. I've laid it out on wire racks (they were part of one of those mini greenhouses, long long ago) in the grow dome to dry out. The bulbs don't seem to have suffered too much from the rust, but whether or not they store (or look terrible under the mud) remains to be seen. I also still have to dig up the Porcelain garlic.

And I was right - I did plant too much garlic. Garlic recipes please!
