Sleeping? ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden )

This photo is taken today and still no sign of anything yet. The weather had been really pleasant and cool for the past few with very light drizzle every now and then. Hmmm .... do you think that they think winter is coming?

Hi KK,

To find out what is happening in the pot without disturbing the plant this idea really has to be done when the bulb was planted. It can be done later if you don't mind risking disturbing any roots. Idea: take a clear plastic cup, cut in half, remove the bottom and plant vertically with the bulb surrounded by the curve of the cup. If placed correctly the cup will provide a window to watch root activity. When the bulb grows roots and you are satisfied that the it has established itself then remove the plastic without disturbing the growing bulb.

Great idea Jerry, I think I'll give it a couple of more weeks before I do surgery!

I never do much to garlic plant the bulb in my garden and forget about it.I NEVER think about it again until the sprout appears.Same with onions.

I wish I can do that too Glendann, but the weeds and weather will not allow this to happen!
