Growing Garlic

Now that the snow is totally gone (for good until next winter, I hope), the supermarket garlic I planted last Halloween seems to be fully thriving.


I planted 22 garlic cloves in this raised bed, and all of them sprouted.  There was one that was looking a little sickly (scrawny wilty leaves compared to all the rest of them) when I had my first chance to take a good look after all the snow melted around three weeks ago, but now it's looking much better. 

Since these are generic supermarket garlic, I'm assuming that they are all softneck and that I won't have the pleasure of enjoying garlic scapes - only produced by hardneck garlic, from what I understand - this year.  But at least these are growing, and I'm looking forward to my first garlic harvest later this summer.

You will be so satisfied when you tie up those bunches of garlic to cure, it's my favorite time in the garden!

They look good. Growing fast now as the weather warm up.

I was going to grow garlic, but my 'limited crops' approach has become less limited, and I'm running out of space!

I'm waiting for my "Supermarket" garlic also :o) this is my first crop and I'm excited about it...I meant to order some others before September rolls around again.

Nice to see your garlic is doing well! I planted some last year in the middle of my tomatoes, and they are still there, doing just great!

Inspirational. So much so that I've planted mine today (Southern hemisphere) - although I've gone for organic, non supermarket varieties. I hope mine look as good as yours do when spring turns up...Thanks
