Hey up and welcome back to Gardening with Ben for a brand new podcast on this Friday.

Now if you're listening to this early on, remember it's going to be a stormy couple of days so make sure that you have battened down everything, tied everything up so that nothing blows over or put stuff away so that it doesn't get damaged.

as it's going to be a pretty bad couple of days so i believe during apparently due to the weather reports you know they can over exaggerate sometimes but sometimes they might not so that's just your word of warning for the weather but we're not a weather forecast presenters but let's get on to the topic that we're going to talk about today and we are going to be talking about garlic how to plant garlic how to choose the right garlic and how to look after garlic as it's a great thing to grow and it is so easy to grow as well and a lot of people make a mistake on when to plant it or how to plant it so i'm going to go through it all and hopefully you'll get some tips and advice on the best ways to grow your garlic in your garden and yeah you need to let me know if you're growing garlic as well because i've got all mine planted it's all already planted so yeah we need to talk about choosing the right garlic so there is three varieties of garlic there is hard neck soft neck and elephant garlic so elephant garlic isn't actually a part of the garlic family it's actually part of the leek family but it does look like garlic and it can be used in the same way as garlic so yeah if you're wanting to grow some huge garlic elephant garlic give them a try obviously they're more expensive to buy if you're going to be planting them and you can get some great results from them so give them a try and see how well you get on with growing your own elephant garlic now i've got three cloves i think in my pot and yeah we'll see how well they get on and see if we get good results So hard neck garlic are usually fewer and larger cloves when you're buying them.

It's mulching, of course, and trust me, it really is worth the time and effort.

And we'll end today's episode with more of your gardening questions answered with help from Melissa Mabbitt.

All this coming up on Gardening with the RHS with me, Gareth Richards.

It's been a tough year for birds.

We had intense heat and prolonged summer drought baking the soil solid over the summer and it prevented ground feeding birds like blackbirds, robins and starlings from digging up earthworms and other customary food sources.
