Growing Garlic

Picking up fresh herbs from your garden and using them in your recipes is such a fulfilling feeling in morning.

Today I picked up garlic leaves and enjoyed its fresh aroma !

Growing garlic is pretty easy just pick up healthy garlic bulb from your kitchen basket. Remove the white/purplish covering from cloves. Prepare your container with potting soil mix and just plant them.

Notes

• Container must be deep and spacious. As Garlic bulb will grow in size below soil.
• Place cloves 4 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in their upright position (the wide root side facing down and pointed end facing up).

• Cloves planted –  16th July .
• Harvest the green leaves – 20th Aug .
• Garlic Bulb – Yet to harvest.
• Soil must be well-drained and good organic fertilizer.
• Garlic needs to get covered with mulch to withstand low temperature in winters.

Happy gardening !
