When we got home the plants are going great guns with many in flower

Even the Lavender is in bloom which is amazing as in the last 3 or 4 years the most we have had was 1 or 2 flowers.

And the garlic is going well (Yes we are growing garlic. Keep a clove of garlic in a well lit area until it starts to grow a green shoot. Plant in garden and water. Simple) however the spinach has not grown since it was put in 3 months ago!!
