What would you do if your garlic didn't grow?

When Lisbeth had her vegetable garden in England, it was not an uncommon occurrence for her to plant (with a 100% success rate) the garlic cloves that she had bought to use for cooking. So with this in mind, about three weeks ago, Lisbeth planted the remaining six cloves of her kitchen garlic.

However today, after she had finished planting her leeks, she lost patience waiting for the garlic to show itself and decided to have a bit of a poke about in the earth to see if there were any signs of life. Sadly, when she scraped away the soil, she found her cloves in tact, with not a sprout in sight.

So what, if you were her, would you do now?

Oh Maud, lovely to hear from you again. I'm planning to write something especially for you, in the near future, so keep an 'ail' out!
