I planted three varieties of garlic about four weeks ago, including the (large) Russian garlic variety. The other two all came up after about two weeks, but not a single sign of the Russian has come up.
Does it normally take longer to come up or have I got a dud batch?

Hi Greg, dont worry about the russian garlic, it will shoot up. Some take a little longer, some come up straight away. Youll find that they really like full sun - if they have shade during the day they will take a little longer to come up. If you have planted the bulbins (little nut like seed) they will probably not show until early spring,
cheers
