  • Planted in pots and raised beds at September 30th.
  • Garlic Germidour. Apparently according to gardening websites sowing season is around October so no problems there.
  • Weather is still a bit sunny during the day averaging about 20+°c and cold during the night around 10-15°c'ish. It is currently October 1st, 23:43pm as of writing and posting and it is currently at 13°C if anyone wants to be specific.
  • Live in UK, hardiness zone is 8b (if you want to be specific).

Did I plant too early and should've waited until mid October at least or am I okay? It's literally my first time planting these and hoping for the best lol.

Lastly, would I need to invest in a poly tunnel and or covers for my garlic plants during the cold weather or are they (Garlic) hardy crops?

Thanks in advance!

I've got a bag full of fresh cut leaves, so hopefully that would last long, if not, I could use some grass clippings, speaking of which our grass could use a mowing right about now, maybe first thing in the morning 😅

Didn't know that about hay having "rogue" seeds in it but I guess that makes sense, I wouldn't know where to get hay where I live although I live near a farm so I could ask them if they got any spare but I don't have the social skills to randomly just turn up and ask for some lmao 😅
