Gooday Len,
Re garlic planting, winter equinox would be right, but are you talking
oubout autumn equinox which weve just had, the winter (2007) one is
still a few months away. |

there is no equinox in winter - it's a solstice :-)
summer & winter solstices = longest day + shortest night/shortest day +
longest night
autumn & spring equinoxes = day & night of equal length at these times.
actually, i suspect there might be a bit more to it than that (path of the
sun & all that), but there's the basics. len must have been talking about
the autumn equinox, because you wouldn't plant garlic during the winter
solstice (afaik!!!!) because it would be too late. unless perhaps you live
in the tropics.(?)
garlic is naturalised at our place (which is quite cool when you think about
it) & it started coming up about a week ago, but if memory serves me right,
there is a LOT more to come up yet. the *** stuff is everywhere. i think it
is getting too cold for my taties now. i have some in feed bags, but i've
just moved them into the greenhouse due to lack of progress outdoors. i will
enjoy len's taties as a consolation prize <g>
