DISPATCHES FROM THE FARMRSS

2011 Garlic Season Update

Saturday, November 05, 2011

The 2011-2012 Red Rocambole garlic is looking great folks! We have started to 'string' some warm days together here and there, so the garlic has begun flowering with its scapes and plumping up or setting its bulbs/cloves.

We still can't be specific about exactly when garlic harvest will start, but if we keep getting mostly mild-warm weather (i.e. less major temp dips and sun-less days like we have still been getting too often!), it should be able to begin end of November/early December, all going well, followed by the curing and cleaning up period prior to sales commencing. 

PLEASE NOTE: We do not take pre-harvest orders (paid or unpaid for). The online shop will be opened once the 2011 garlic is ready for dispatch only.

We'll of course send out a 'garlic alert' newsletter to our subscribers (subscribe right-hand side of this page) once the online shop is about to open and post harvest and sales update info here on the website (homepage and garlic shop pages) when the time comes.
