Just find some nice big heads of a type you like (I prefer the stiff neck, which you don't usually find in the grocery store), break them into cloves and plant each clove pointy-end up about 4-5 inches from the next one. It is best to plant in fall for an end-of-summer crop the next year. You can plant in spring, but the end result will be a little smaller. When they start to flower (there is a long stalk called a "scape" that comes out of each plant--you can clip them and eat them in stirfries or BBQ them), be sure to remove the flower before it blooms, so that all the plant's energy goes into making the heads.Deborah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032614187237072683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-53980763335727392552012-08-09T23:41:27.281-04:002012-08-09T23:41:27.281-04:00I have some lemons a friend brought me from San Di...I have some lemons a friend brought me from San Diego, and it's been such a treat to use each one!<br /><br />I am so inexperienced with garlic--that haul makes me jealous!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948775380902570315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-14674900132972192502012-08-09T13:25:58.980-04:002012-08-09T13:25:58.980-04:00I have all three, but they are mostly ripe at diff...I have all three, but they are mostly ripe at different times.

Living in FL I get a better option of what I can and can't grow because of the long growing season and warm more tropical temperatures. I did try a garden this year but it turned out thus far kinda of poorly. I have a squash, cucumber, and tomato plant growing. The other 15 plants don't seem to be coming. We also are trying to grow Pineapple tree/bush. And eventually I want a lot of other fruit trees and would love a herb garden and a beautiful veggie garden too. I should start saving seeds now for next year and try again earlier in the year. Your garden looks great!! And all those foods look yummy. I'm going to have to try me some purple carrots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
