Last fall I bought seed garlic. I planted it in autumns cold dark earth and piled the mulch on. I had always thought growing this savory bulb would be a treat. In the spring green shoots appeared and grew hip high. In late summer the foliage withered and I dug deep to pull up fat, fragrant bulbs. I dusted the dirt off and laid them out to dry. I've been cooking with them for the last few weeks, and the flavor is wonderful. This fall, I plan to plant MORE garlic!
