Fair play to you for fitting so much in!
Garlic does like plenty of sunshine alright.We're in the height of summer here and it's currently 14 degrees and raining, so my poor garlic is looking rather sad.
In fact, the whole summer has been a washout. The weather can't make up its mind. We've had spells of unseasonably cold weather, followed by a few days touching 30°C, and then straight back to the cold again. As a result, quite a few of my onions have bolted. Seems the veggies are as confused as I am.
