Garlic

[BensMom]

Tell about growing garlic. I love the stuff and should have it in the garden. Somebody told once you plant it you'll have it forever. Well that's okay with me. Any tips?

1. in my extremely limited experience

herbs grow like weeds

and I expect garlic is no exception....

3. I'm very proud of my annual herb crop

they look great, produce great, need very little attention and I can take all the credit. Growing like weeds is exactly what they do. I have Cilantro, Oregano and Parsley growing from seeds in the house right now. Lord this "winter" is killing me. I've never grown garlic but just might give it a try.

I've never grown garlic but now that I am reading Carrots love Tomatoes I definitely want to grow some myself.
