I'll try planting a few , thanks...would now be a proper time? Takes at least 8 months to grow, what I've heard so never tried growing garlic, near New Orleans.

maybe it's come up already but elephant garlic is not a true garlic, it's closer to a leek, and it has a mild flavor.

I reckon that all nationalities become one when the subject turns to gardening.

@12quillemall5321 Did you keep them watered?
-
Don't forget there are autumn and spring planting varieties!
-
@TheRastaRick from your grocery store in the produce section. buy organic bulbs.
-
@wheredidileavemycell Yeah, one clove does, but you can also plant the whole bulb and you'll get many very small garlic plants. I'm not sure why he said to plant the whole bulb in at one go!
-
hey do so does one clove go on to product a bulb? because if the ratio is 1 bulb = 1 bulb then what is the benefit of planting? im sure im missing something. Thanks in advance
-
great tips . thanks im going to have to try this , about how long does it take to get the big bulb of garlic ? and what time do you plant it in spring or fall ?
Where do you buy these garlic bulbs from?

@TheRastaRick I buy mine from Johnny Selected Seeds in Maine. You can actually use organic garlic from the market as well, but you won't know the variety.

I was wondering if you are supposed to stop watering garlic in July or August??

@lillyho12 You are correct, but its more about when the scapes have created about two loops. At this point less water is better to help the garlic set good wrappers for good storage quality. The month may vary on location and year.
