Risky business

I bought two large winter planting garlic from Thompson & Morgan back in September. They arrived in November and I meant to put them in straight away, but I procrastinated. Then it snowed. Then I thought I'd put them in on the longest day, as garden lore recommends, but it snowed some more. Then I spent Christmas eating, which clearly took precedent over digging. Finally on the 3rd of January I took off my pyjamas, put on my wellies and went outside. I've put in one head of garlic, broken up into about 12 cloves, planted about 10cm down, with 20cm between them. Now we shall just have to wait and see if any of it grows.
