I just read this great blog about growing garlic:
  • A garlic bulb in the ground has a better chance to grow than one in a bag or in the garbage (just plant it) 
  • As long as you can dig into the soil (not frozen solid) you can plant fall garlic
  • Garlic takes about 5-6 months to reach maturity 
  • Garlic ready to harvest when leaves start turning brown (and not just because there is a drought) 
  • Harvest BEFORE 2/3 of leaves are brown so that they store well

a simpler life
