Lesa, do you have any idea what makes them have big cloves? The only time I tried garlic, the cloves were really small, so it was a pain to use it. Any thoughts?

I think I am going to try garlic this fall. Bought a bunch of seeds a couple of weeks ago and garlic was one of them. I'm kind of new to gardening, so everything is an experiment for me right now. So far, it's been a lot of fun and I love garlic, so I am looking forward to that.

Welcome, pops! I have never heard of growing garlic from seed. I will be interested to hear your experience with that. What zone are you gardening in?

It could be that you planted it too deep. Or it could be your zone.skeeter9 said:

I wonder if by seed he means garlic bulbils? Porcelain bulbils are about the size of rice which could look like seed. I was going to try some bulbils this year.lesa said:

The traditional date for planting garlic is Columbus Day- October 10th, or so....You don't want to see any signs of growth, until spring. I do side dress the garlic in the spring with composted chicken poop- judging by the size of those cloves, I would say it works!
