Bulbs bought at Hampton Court last year, planted in the autumn, not sure when exactly - September or October I guess. They were from "The garlic farm". A mix of varieties but "early purple" has done well. We've got 5 elephant garlic as well. One's in the picture, the other 4 are in the ground still so I'm hoping they keep growing bigger.
Onions went in around the same time as sets (little bulbs). I think they're some Japanese variety. We tried the year before and the results were disastrous - garlic want great either.
I think the onions and some of the garlic could've stayed in longer but the garlic was looking a bit iffy after all the rain recently and I want the space for tomatoes and aubergines anyway. We've still got a few onions in the ground.

Fuck yeah! I’ve always failed with garlic and onions with putting them in too late, these look amazing. When did you plant them? Grown from seed?
We’ve got some garlic in that’s looking ok, and some of last years onions that did nothing last year sprung back up in spring, so we’ve moved them away to take to seed for next year.
