Seeing 'Growing Garlic' as one of the weekly reading kind of surprised me as I didn't think we would be looking so closely at individually plants. However after reading the article I realized that garlic is unlike anything that my family has every planted before. I did not think that so much preparation had to be taken care of before any actual planting could take place. I know that my family uses garlic a lot in cooking so I was curious to see where we kept it. Turns out that we are following the rules very well as they are kept in a very dry place that is well ventilated.
I found it interesting that while it takes a lot of work to plant the garlic and take care of it and harvest it, it also seems quite hard to pick out what garlic to plant. I don't think that I would want to try and pick out local garlic without the help of someone else. I was wondering what the uses of elephant garlic would be if no one plants it for the taste.
