Garlic

[flowerbug]

...I still have some special bulbils of a really nice garlic that a friend gifted me that I want to plant in a container, but apart from that I am all done with planting garlic. Happy dance!

as a warning i've never had garlic do well in containers so you may want to take a few of those and plant them in a regular garden and mark that location so that you can find them later. this also helps avoid the "all in one location" risk of failure for gardening in general.

Good points. The first year I planted bulbils they were in one gallon pots with no protection and I got a bumper crop, so the next year I did the same thing and almost every variety failed. Last year I planted bulbils in the ground, but I found it very difficult to keep track of the little guys, even when I marked the row well. This time I am thinking of planting bulbils in a larger pot, and sinking it in the ground for insulation. I have the same type of garlic growing from bulb, so it won't be a big deal if they winter kill.
