My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I’m not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!
Just because all my resources are ‘free of charge’, to everyone, doesn’t mean they aren’t good quality. My objective is to make sure that there’s no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information. I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/steverichards

You got me on this. I take my G/garlic and the bulb and blend into a pulp with olive oil and freeze into ice cube treys. Empty treys into a bag, and repeat. Use through the year from the freezer.
Great info as always, thank you!
I'm doing garlic this year, hoping to get a nice crop, might put some in my greenhouse too.
Thank you 🙏🏼
You converted me to green garlic last year and it's now one of my favourite veggies. I'm planning on planting a load more as soon as I shake the cold that's bugging me this week.
Thanks 😊
A great update on your garlic Steve, Take care
Nice one Steve. Just about to plant some of mine when the sky's opened up LOL
We all say not to break the bulb into cloves until just before planting, you, me, loads of others plus the "respected" websites and books – so why is it that some of the seed catalogue companies send them out as bags of cloves? Weird!
Maybe they grade them and bin the tiddlers? Sorry, I was joking LOL
Stay safe buddy
Great vid Steve👍🏻
I’m growing green garlic this year based on seeing yourself and Huw Richards champion it.
I’m growing them in a diagonal offset pattern to double the harvest amount. So I’ll harvest half of them as green (every other planted clove), and let the other half fully mature with more spacing once the green has been removed.
That’s the plan anyway😄
We freeze finely processed garlic in silicone divider trays for year round use. It’s really convenient to just take a frozen ice cube of garlic ready for a dish.
If you go to Lidl, Morrisons supermarkets and ask for the flower buckets as they will give you some for free and they range from 10litres to 20litres but perfect for Garlic, chives and spring onions.
Great update as always.
Do you ever grow Welsh leeks as they are hard to find anywhere but are supposed to grow through the winter and a hardy crop?
Very interesting to hear about your garlic plans. Thank you!
Thanks Steve
I got some garlic cloves in a big shallow tray in the polytunnel. They will be transplanted out. As they re just Tesco organic cloves, these may be better used for 'green' garlic. Do you think that use would bebetter staying indoors. They are about 4" long already.
i am expected garlic any day now and just took delivery of red onion sets. It is lovely to stil be getting warm sunny day s to get thing done.
