Growing Garlic
Sow:
Plant cloves in
October through February. Plant up to 4 inches deep and in rows about 12 inches apart
Soil: Garlic likes loose soil it will in heavy wet soils,
so add sand and organic matter or a soil conditioner before planting if you have heavy clay soil.
Harvest: When the lower leaves turn yellow or brown, pull up and leave to dry
in
the sun for 10 days on a rack. Then remove the outer layer of skin before storing
in a cool place.
Containers: You can grow garlic in containers indoors or out. You can also clip the green stems and use for cooking.
