The onions and garlic have grown slowly but steadily over the winter. Some of the bulbs have been pulled up, probably by birds, leaving gaps in the rows. Even if we had additional bulbs remaining it would be too late to plant these varieties.
The heavy rains over the winter damaged the texture of the soil, creating a hard crust which causes water to run off the bed instead of soaking in. The cracking of the crust can be seen in this (blurry) photo of the young onion plant.
The garlic plants are growing fairly well but are not as large as the onions.
