We are on a mission to find the best
amateur garlic grower in the UK. Are you a budding gardener who would like to
grow garlic at home, or perhaps you are already with the garlic you have grown
at home in the past? If this sounds like you, then we have got a competition for
you!
The Great British Garlic Challenge is looking for the best amateur
garlic grower in the UK with the crowned champion and five runners up each
receiving a fantastic garlicky prize.
How you can get
involved:
- Register to enter the competition here
- Buy your seed Solent Wight garlic here
(or look out for competitions on our Facebook & Twitter pages to win some)
- Plant your seed in October & November for Autumn planting and before the
end of February perhaps even early March for Spring planting
- Follow our hints & tips about how to grow your garlic & look out for
our regular email newsletters
- Prepare to lift your Solent Wight garlic in July
- To enter our competition, you will need to email us three photographs of
your garlic when time comes to harvest; one in situ, one when lifted and one
when it has been washed and peeled.
All
photo entries need to be submitted by Friday 16 August 2013 when our chief
garlic farmer, Colin Boswell, will begin to study each and every image before
choosing the eventual winner.
If you are lucky enough to be the winner
of the Great British Garlic Challenge, you will receive a complimentary weekend
for two at our farm in one of our holiday cottages, £100 to spend in our farm
shop and a meal for two at our onsite restaurant – giving you the chance to
taste some of our produce! If you're not lucky enough to win, then don't despair
as we will be choosing five runners up who will each receive a year's supply of
garlic.
And
did those bulbs in ancient time grow in England’s gardens
green? – The
continuing search for “The Mother of all garlic”We are
continually searching for lost or ancient garlic types that could be growing in
gardens across the UK. If you have garlic growing at home with no more than 6
cloves to a bulb (softneck or hardneck, but not elephant) then email photographs
of it to
entries@thegarlicfarm.co.uk. Make
sure you include as much information as possible about the bulb – including
where the original bulb was found.
We then may ask you if you would
kindly donate two sample bulbs to our heritage collection for study and possible
further propagation.
In return all of you who donate garlic bulbs
selected by us for our heritage collection will receive a cheque for £20 plus
£50 voucher to spend in The Garlic Farm online store.
