This is our second year growing garlic. We used cloves from the first year's harvest. We are having fun, but don't exactly know what we are doing! We plant the cloves, cover with dead leaves/cardboard for the winter, uncover in the spring, and wait to harvest scapes and bulbs. That's it.
What are your garlic growing tips/strategies? Do you feed your bulbs at any particular time?
How did you deal with the infestation?
I bought these cistanthe at a garden shop having a sale on annuals. I didn't know anything about them but loved their colors. After looking them up online and finding out they are succulents, I decided against planting them in the ground and opted for pots. This way I can move them inside/under shelter on rainy/cold days and hopefully they will last more than one season.
This is one of the best shots I've taken! I used a filter on my phone's camera
Wow! Thank you for sharing that. I'm definitely taking notes for next year
