Thanks for EM info/Black Frost
Tony/Christine/David C: Thank you all for info and contacts for ÉM. Slowly making my way through the hundreds of emails that have gathered since my trip. In reply to Allan E black frost: I live in Orange NSW and have been involved in growing acres of garlic for a few years. Positioned 1000 metres above sea level on the side of Mt. Canobolas (extinct volcano) we witness wicked frosts anytime from June to early Dec., these are a constant throughout winter. The garlic has never shown any problems from frost or the snow falls which happen about 4 times a year, and tend to be heavy for this region due to elevation. LL Liz
Black frost
Hello to all Just back from the Nth coast of NSW where frosts have "burnt"almost all of the crops.So bad that the term black frost was used. I roamed all over and found practically every cultivated crop,be it banana,peas,beans not to mention pasture totally browned of,damaged from cell rupturing. All except three acres of garlic I came across. Can garlic withstand constant frosts? Allan E
