1: White  (from right box) (9)

Note: I added quite a lot of chicken manure and dried seaweed. Must still add more around them in the spring. I need to improve the leaf growth somehow.

This year was a pathetic crop. By the time I had taken out the cloves for re-planting there was little left except undivided bulbs.
