Notes

Picked these up at Plants Plus on Leith St. You plant them from bulbs and they form clusters, a bit like garlic but bigger. Excited to grow them since they are so expensive to buy.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
