Garlic is one of easiest crops to grow, and it takes up a relatively small area in the garden. It has traditionally been planted on the shortest day and harvested on the longest but can be planted in May as well. It has many health giving properties and is used daily in cooking in many kitchens around the world. The whole plant is edible with the shoots and leaves able to be used like Chives along with the bulb.
Garlic does equally well in the ground, garden beds or pots. Preparation is key and plenty of food and water as the garlic gets bigger.
