Garlic
So, I've been wanting to try this for ages. Never knew how to grow garlic, but found this great website giving some tips. I couldn't find 'organic' garlic anywhere, but I finally found some 'sprouting' garlic cloves at my local grocery store (the normal garlic you buy with green shoots appearing at the top of the cloves).
I planted each individual clove separately, just under the surface of the soil with my spinach in a big pot outside. Because winter is approaching I covered each clove with a plastic bottle (bottom cut off) to act as a little 'green house'. I planted my first batch towards the beginning of April and some more this past weekend (last week of April). Will let you know how it goes!
