My order from the Organic Gardening Catalogue arrived at work and I have been bringing the contents of the box home in stages.
I ordered some Ramson (wild garlic) bulbs. The packet told me how deep to plant them and they preferred quick draining soil (good, I've got that) and full sun (not so good, I'm short of that). However, there was nothing about when to plant them.
I googled and found a site that said they should be well watered and they will start to appear in February. Watering over the winter????
I've planted them, mainly along the back of the flower bed where they will get morning sun, and a few in the bed that will have the leaks next year.
Hoping for the best.
When I bought ramsons a few years ago, I planted them in the autumn, so you are planting at the right time of year. But being a woodland plant I would have thought they would do well in shady places rather than in full sun.
