    How to plant garlic

    I came >this close< to buying some clearance garlic at Walmart yesterday. But the bulbs they had were all dried up so I figured they wouldn't grow well. And yes, the directions on these said to plant each clove separately.

    problem with tomato seedlings, possible disease/fungus, need advice

    I second wifezilla. The purple hue underneath the leaves remind me of a nutrient deficiency that my broccoli had (I think it was magnesium). One foliar feeding with fish emulsion and the next leaves were bright and green again.
