GARLIC: GROWING

Garlic is useful for so many things and beneficial to your health in so many ways, that it is necessary to discuss just one aspect of this wonderful perennial at a time. Garlic belongs to the onion family and has a bulb consisting of around ten or more cloves. Although it needs a long growing season, it's easy to grow in almost any climate, and it's easy to cultivate, giving you no excuse for not having plenty of garlic on hand.

Select a well-formed garlic bulb and remove the cloves around the outside edge of the bulb. Take these cloves and plant them about one inch deep and eight inches apart in a sandy soil base where they will get plenty of sun. Harvest your garlic in the summer after the leaves have turned yellow and died. Dry the bulbs in the sun and store them in a dry place, hanging them in the rafters, for example. Then start again next spring, and you'll never be out of this medicinal plant.
