Gooday Len,
Re garlic planting, winter equinox would be right, but are you talking
oubout autumn equinox which weve just had, the winter (2007) one is
still a few months away.

 g'day joinno,

that is the autumn/winter equinox (thought it occurs in our official
autumn) the next period is the winter solstice (june 22nd) the
shortest day.

 up here march into april (no later) a fairly exacting time if you want
garlic to grow and mature properly before the spring rains come and
rot it in the ground. same with spuds if it gets too hot they want to
go to seed and not produce good tubers, in mild winters our spud
returns always lower.
