New Shoots...

Garlic in the snow by Craig Richardson

This shows how little I know... I knew garlic needed to go in before winter, as bulbs that go through the cold spell are bigger than those planted in spring. But for some reason I thought they'd be like flower bulbs, and lie dormant until spring - so I got a bit of a shock when I went to check how my raised bed had coped with the light dusting of snow last night and found this...

[About the photo: a quick shot with the macro lens whilst William was exploring the snow.  I'm not entirely happy with the depth of field - may need to reshoot on a tripod so I can get a narrower aperture...]
