Everything is getting more and more expensive. This is a fact of life, and has been for the past couple of hundred years. But there are some ways that we can beat the high costs of living. One way is to grow your own food. I have a porch that gets some sun, and I have a potted olive tree that I have had for over 10 years. This year it is giving olives!
But is post is about Garlic! It is easy to grow your own and you don't have to wait 10 years! Not that I was counting anyway!
How do you grow your own garlic? First you take a piece of garlic that you bought at the market. My package like almost everything else nowadays. is from . . . wait for it , is from China!
Now, take one piece, if it is growing already it is ok, put the green part upwards in the pot. If the piece of garlic has not grown, like mine here, then put the cut off (flat end) end down in the pot first.
This is a piece of garlic after about a month. Your Garlic needs a bit of water every two days, the pot has to get the water out the bottom. Clip off the flowers if you don't want it to produce seeds.
Wait about 10 months until the green at the top dies, then take out the garlic, dry it for about a week, where it gets a bit of breeze.
