Sorry for late reply I did read it, but nets been down (

I'm going to go to a garden centre soon an see what I can buy, but thing garlic will be a good one!!

Does anyone know what I should do with my strawberry plant? Should i trim it down for winter?

does planting garlic simply involve sowing some supermarket-bought cloves?

Hi Telecaster and welcome! You can plant supermarket garlic cloves and I do know that people get a crop of garlic from supermarket bought garlic but it is not really recommended as the garlic from the supermarket could have been grown abroad so will not be suitable to our climate or it can carry disease. You can buy garlic bulbs mail order from most of the seed merchants. Here is a link to Thompson and Morgan.

Garlic (Onions, Garlic and Potatoes)

you could try some potatoes grown under fleece and winter lettuce my spinach beet is growing nicely thanks to the warm weather we are getting this time of the year also broad beans can go in now for a spring crop.

thanks for the link and the welcome Lesley

Interestingly I've never thought about growing my own pumpkins, that would be really cool. What time of year would someone want to start on them to have them by October?
