Do you use that as you would normal garlic ?
Yes, but we use the stems as you would a Leek and the flower buds are nice as well.

Nice, I don't grow nothing except old

Don't you grow bunions or nasal hair ?. Maybe larger ears ?

I've been out for a bimble this morning, Twycross and back, 40 miles ridden with a stop at Harvey's Coffee Cabin, one of my favourite cafe's, I haven't been out that way for about eighteen months so it was nice to pay them a visit, I also rode through the Bluebell woods on Purley Chase for the first time in ages, 37mph on the descent on the way out and 5mph climbing up it on the way back, plenty of time to admire the Bluebell woods as I climbed. Early start, I was out at eight, left Coventry up Penny Park Lane, Bennets Road South, through Keresley and then up Breech Oak Lane, I was in the lanes by the time the school run got started so though the lanes were busy I avoided the chaos round by me, theres three schools and a nursery by where I live. It was a bit cool when I left but warmed up nicely as the ride went on, I was wearing summer tights, a short sleeved top and a long sleeved top plus a base layer, I was a bit cool at first but I was getting warm by the end. Thats another good morning out on my bike, very enjoyable.

- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Went round the new neighbours yesterday pm for a 'get to know each other' hookup.
Really nice night, got back indoors at 2am, got to sleep at 5am and got up at 1pm today.
They seem on the same wavelength and were good fun to be with and had no stuffy reserve about them - we'll see how things develop over time.

We had a good 2.5 hour chat in the sunshine. The original venue was to be a roadside cafe but Littgull had changed his mind by the time that I arrived. I thought the same as him, that it would be a shame to sit next to a busy road. Also, a group of cyclists had just arrived before us and would probably have taken up all the outdoor seating.
Instead, we cycled round the path to the cafe on the far side of Hollingworth Lake, and sat at a table next to the lake (which is actually a reservoir). A much nicer place to talk.
You (and my sister) are clearly at the opposite end of the sociability spectrum to me ... I moved here 7 years ago and my sister helped me move in. That day she leaned over the fence and introduced herself to my immediate neighbours, and introduced me too. I reluctantly said hello... I haven't said a word to them since!
(To be fair, I hardly ever see them.)Sis has been living in Devon for less than 2 years and she seems to know 50+ people there already.
That's Devon for ya.
This is the only place I've lived where I'm on first name terms with at least a dozen neighbours and numerous local shopkeepers.
