It is so exciting going into the winter season and planting garlic before the heavy snow arrives.
Someone very excited about her garden whispered to me the method of getting great garlic by middle of next summer.
Prepare the soil. Mix your decayed compost etc.. Have your organic garlic head broken apart to the individual cloves (seeds)
Plant 1 clove per spot with the pointy side up 2 inch below the surface and water. Next year in early july pick the scapes (fresh Green shoots) and eat in saute or puree into a dip.
After the rest of the leaves dry out (about 2-3 weeks) the garlic can be harvested.
Dry in a well vented area and can be used up over time to make tasty healthy meals.
