Garlic?

So, I was thinking about growing some garlic. Hell, the only reason I have ever thrown out garlic was because it started growing on its own. I was thinking about doing it in doors with the rest of my plants. How much room do they need?

I have been trying to grow it for the last month. I have about3 going. One indoor under floro, one in flower room with weed, and one outside.

They all seem to grow nice green stem/leafs very fast and root really well and fast as well. But after 2-4 weeks they die off. I think it needs to be cooler temps. I think I will try in winter and see how it goes. So far I do have 3 still alive, but they like water and no fert what so ever or they die fast.

Mine always ends up growing too. Maybe Ill just stick it in the ground next time it happens

Ill let you know

Presuming you're referring to actual garlic, you plant in the fall in most of the U.S. for a July harvest.
Here's all ya need to know.
Harvesting Garlic - by Paul Pospisil

Garlic planted in I think august of 07 and this picture was taken around the 4th of July. grow garlic near roses and tomatoes to keep the aphid pop. down.

Garlic is insanely easy to grow outdoors. Planting/harvest dates depend on location. Where I live it it is planted around Thanksgiving and harvested in May.

Growing Garlic

I grow it myself, I have over 250 cloves in the ground now.

But some GOOD garlic from a good store and separate the cloves, and plant pointed end up.

I plant mine in the fall around October and let it sit all winter, next spring look for the scapes ( they look like a long sender stem with a a seed pod on the end, they will normally curl) to form, remove and the garlic will soon start to dry out. When about 2/3 of the tops have turned, then it is time to pull a few and see if they are ready. Hang them to dry for a few weeks and remove the outer layers to remove the dirt.

Yes I agree, growing garlic does repel aphids. Also plant chives near your roses to deter blackspot. Plant Borage in your garden to promote general soil health (plus it has badass true blue star shaped flowers on it)

Cooking wise, when cut, air increases the potency of the taste. It's very mellow when not cut. Rubbing down the pan with garlic adds the overall taste. Recently learned, sweated properly, the pod will spread like butter on bread. Oh Yeah !!
