@Donna & Mathew ... I tend to just pick up a few heads of garlic from green grocers or supermarkets. You can find some 'seed' suppliers at the Canningvale Markets on Bannister road.

Could you please advise on where we can buy Garlic seed supplies from in Western Australia. Starting to get very frustrated. We feel we have just about exhausted all avenues. Your help would be greatly appreciated

I live in the New England area, Australia.I live in Inverell; I am wondering what would be the best type of garlic to grow in this area. Cold winters and hot summers. Any advice would be welcomed. Deb

Has anyone had any experience of garlic virus? Is is easy to recognise, and is it a problem anyway? I've heard that it may affect keeping qualities, and also that it can be spread by aphids and/or thrips. I planted several varieties this year, and some were starting to develop yellow "stripes" (lengthwise) on the leaves. I'm not sure if I should be using any of this to plant next year, or whether it's safer to buy new bulbs. If so, does anyone know where I can get certified virus-free bulbs?

my garlic seems to have a head of garlic seed that has shot from the plant that grew well. this started in oct . i have harversted it all. The head is purple and has about 50 tiny garlic bulbs in it and the size of a 50 cent piece i assume this is a head of seed

Well, the large garlic seems to have come good after all! I gave up on it and left it alone, but when I dug up a few, they had fomed cloves after all. I'm sure now that if I had continued to water them they would have split.
