To all the garlic lovers out there, it's really easy to grow. Make sure you buy locally grown garlic, either at a farmers market or a roadside stand, do not use that stuff from China. In September or October, take a head of garlic and separate it into individual cloves. Plant each clove in your garden about 5cm (2 inches) deep and about 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) apart. Use lots of compost to augment the soil. Water well. Fertilize in the spring and water as needed. When the scapes appear (early June) cut those and eat them. Do not allow the scape to form a flower. When the tops dry back, you can harvest them, probably in July or August. Air dry and store in a dry place. Each individual clove will usually produce a head of garlic. Enjoy fresh home grown garlic year after year.
