I've read it's super easy. Drop it in the ground in the fall and forget it! October I've read is is the best time for my region. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1774047 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 11:23:28 +0000 shopaholic 1774047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772712 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:47:37 +0000 Cole 1772712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The woman who used to live at my house apparently loved garlic and I assure you it's the easiest thing ever- I literally do nothing and each year have tons of it. I need to get better about harvesting it and drying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772707 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:44:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1772707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but wanted to pop in and say doooooooo itttttt! Non-grocery store garlic is so.much.better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772653 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:59:26 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1772653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: According to my MIL they're supposed to eliminate the fungus that sometimes grows under rose leaves. It's worked for her so far! I don't have roses, but I plan to mix them into my flowerbeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772646 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:54:59 +0000 shopaholic 1772646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the reassurance! OK - looks like I'll be buying some organic garlic to plant in the Fall. </p> <p>@Kemma: Thanks for that tip!</p> <p>@SugarplumsMom: I read that too! And for planting under roses for some reason… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772642 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:52:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1772642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What? I'm pretty sure you don't need all of that. Just put a bunch of cloves in the ground and see if they like the location. If there's too many, you pull them out and toss it :happy: </p> <p>I heard they're actually good for pests and plan on planting them in various locations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772641 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:52:27 +0000 Kemma 1772641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plant it on the shortest day, harvest on the longest! Planting bigger cloves will result in bigger bulbs and organic garlic is probably best for home-growing - good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772631 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:48:27 +0000 Snowdrop 1772631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, like @babycanuck: i never bother to water or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772630 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:47:22 +0000 Snowdrop 1772630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh i plant in autumn when i plant tulips then forget about it till time to dig up when the leaves are dying back. It's well easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772618 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:41:01 +0000 babycanuck 1772618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plant it in the fall and forget about it! I made the mistake of planting in the spring and it really needs the winter to get ready. I wouldn't worry too much about daily watering, etc. because I know a few people who plant them and let them go wild (they get the water from the rain only). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772615 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:39:31 +0000 shopaholic 1772615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone ever grown their own garlic? I was reading about it and how most supermarket garlic is grown and fertilized (ewww) and thought it would be easy. Then I read this: <a href="http://themicrogardener.com/5-step-guide-to-growing-gorgeous-garlic/" rel="nofollow">http://themicrogardener.com/5-step-guide-to-growing-gorgeous-garlic/</a> </p> <p> and there are just so, so many steps. I'd plant in our yard where we have a daily sprinkler system going. I don't really have the time or desire to moisture-check, pH check, etc. I grow plenty of other herbs without any work at all.</p> <p>Hoping for some reassurance that garlic is relatively easy to grow? </p>
