I got garlic planted last saturday so we should have a nice garlic harvest next year. I did 11 bulbs and 1 elephant bulb, shall see how they do.
Yes we love garlic! I want the elephant garlic so I can make roasted garlic with it.That is a good start! Garlic is good on just about everything......maybe not a bowl of cereal.....LOL
Good job. It will do well for you.
I have found that garlic is tough and very forgiving. Our soil is starting to freeze, but one year I planted my garlic in December with a pick, haha. Grew fine. Guess I could still get some in...
What do the boxes smell like?Congratulations on planting your garlic! I didn't plant any last year and regretted it...but I have a patch of garlic from my old garden that grows wild out in the yard. I was able to go out and sneak a few heads here and there, and actually dug up a couple to replant in my raised beds. I have no idea what the variety is, but I have been growing it for ten years and like the flavor. I have never tried elephant garlic, but I would like to.
After smelling the boxes that store bought garlic comes in, I never buy it from the grocery store!
What do the boxes smell like?
When my brother-in-law moved a few decades ago he got boxes from the grocery store. Some of them were garlic or onion boxes. His wife was not happy.
Ask for egg boxes. They are a good size, big but not so big you can't carry it easily, and the boxes are sturdy and have handles.
