There are easier ways of getting rid of vampires. hahaha just kidding. You want some garlic seeds or starts? I bought some at the store and put them in the ground, but for ornamental purposes--I like the purple and pink flowers. hehehe. BTW they grow even when they have no roots forming at the bottom.

Why not just buy some at your local food store? Instant gratification.

I got walking onion bulbs and that looks like little garlic kinda. They didnt have roots but I got them to start.

haha I'm glad someone appreciates my humor. I try to keep it clean on hurrrr LOL.
but yeah, buy some garlic from the store and pop it in the ground. When you harvest it, you have to hang them up to dry for a long time somewhere warm and dry though. That's the hardest part. Boo.
You could always use your spider poking stick for the vampires, BTW. heheehe

The way it sounds your spider needs a baseball bat!!

I think the two little fangs are all it needs to keep me away from it. But I might throw some garlic in the bucket that it's in now. Oh yeah I wanted to show you the bucket full of webs....

Seperate the garlic cloves and plant about 1-2 inches deep, now. It's debateable if cutting off the scapes next year produces a larger clove or not. When the leaves start to die off harvest, brush off the dirt and hang to dry in a warm dry place for about 2 weeks. The only problem with grocery store garlic is you dont know the variety and therefore dont know how long it will store. Also some companies use an anti sprouting agent to make it keep longer on the store shelf. (eww)
mmmmmmmmmmm garlic

That depends on what you're talking about me planting LOL

As for Garlic - I've bought your stereotypical Garlic, put it in dirt, and enjoyed the leaves. Exciting huh? LOL

[unicorn2564]

I was talking about grocery store garlic. You talked like you had done it. I wanted to hear your story of planting grocery store garlic.

[santoury]

Grocery store garlic = stereotypical garlic.

I just put it in dirt, and watched. Sorry it wasn't more exciting
