The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

With the price of garlic, £1 per bulb. Tempted to try a few supermarket bulbs alongside The home grown varieties. My local supermarket gives me a choice of Spanish or Chinese.

In my experience supermarket bulbs grow well, if looked after properly, I grew one a few years ago, and I'm still collecting the bulbs and replanting. at present, I have 5 cloves growing in an old washing up bowl in my garden. I like container gardening, I can move things to suit the weather
And this year, I got a new breed from Morrisons, its a deep purple skin with a medium bulb instead of my normal white skin with a small bulb... and thats growing in an old formula milk tin
So yeh, definitely worth trying to grow garlic from a shop bulb. Just dont try the smoked garlic bulbs... I made this mistake and realised after 6 months it was never going to grow

Re my £1 garlic bulbs. They are now £1.50. Lets hope the crop is 50% larger.

Na, the only thing that's 50% larger is the profit margin from the suppler...
