Well, I’m sad today, I transplanted what was left of the garlic bulbs to the graveyard garden, and it seems, despite being in the cold greenhouse, they have gotten frost damage beyond repair. I planted them anyway, but I think they are truly kaputt. :( I took out my mums from the greenhous...Cloudy 10°C / 50°F -
