Do you grow your own garlic?

When I was a little girl we had a garden at the cottage where we grew garlic, and all kinds of other vegetables. It was great to have all that wonderul fresh stuff. Aother thig I remember about the garden was Rhubarb, and the desserts Mom used o make with that. Yummy!

Yes and it is super easy. Just stick a clove in the ground in the fall. Next year, you get garlic. Here is a link for you http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetablepatch/a/GrowGarlic_2.htm Good luck!

Sadly, the closest thing to garlic that is found in our gardens is a sad flowering bulb that is threatening to take over the whole yard. We don't get much time for gardening, so things have kind of gotten out of hand in our 'jungle'. I do believe you are able to split the cloves in order to get new bulbs. The reason being that the cloves are individual bulbs that just just grow in a cluster for better protection. I think garlic prefers a well draining, ph balanced soil, in a moderately sunny position, but it has been a few years since I did any horticulture or agriculture research like this.

I plant garlic straight from the shops, and get good results. If you have well drained soil you could plant it in autumn, but if your soil is likely to get waterlogged and the garlic rot then you'd be better to wait until Spring. Coffee grounds are apparantly good for garlic. I did use some on my garlic bed this year, but it was a brand new piece of land so it's been hard to gauge the results.

No I don't grow garlic. But I have tried to plant once. I think that if you plant a single clove it will grow into a bulb. Maybe as long as it has some sort of root ends. The problem I encountered when I planted it was the insects. They ate the garlic before it had sprouted.
