Mulch or sprinkle on . . . <br />Since both Fluorine & Chlorine block iodine absorption, (they're in the same chemical 'group' - bromine as well) this is esp. helpful if you irrigate with city waterNadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730124015853971661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-54914942118766249042009-12-04T04:25:15.257-07:002009-12-04T04:25:15.257-07:00Many of the necessary vitamins are found in garlic...Many of the necessary vitamins are found in garlic as a natural antibiotic and food should be consumed in more than gives great flavornihatyhttp://www.garlica.web.trnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-3798360266734638722009-12-01T11:26:50.281-07:002009-12-01T11:26:50.281-07:00I love growing garlic, it's got to be one of t...I love growing garlic, it's got to be one of the easiest things to grow. I usually buy a head wherever I see any for sale (because I love to eat garlic too) and save one or two to plant. <br /><br />If you know people who garden you can also trade for different varieties as well. I have Amish garlic and wild garlic, I must have at least 20 varieties. <br /><br />You can never have too much garlic!RedStateGreenhttp://thesietch.org/mysietch/redstategreennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-40629006324931421722009-12-01T06:53:50.033-07:002009-12-01T06:53:50.033-07:00I've planted garlic cloves I bought from a gar...I've planted garlic cloves I bought from a garden catalog and garlic cloves I bought from the local grocery store. No difference. They both do fabulous. Now that I have the routine down I save back the biggest, healthiest cloves to plant in the fall and eat the rest. I use the square foot system and last year I planted eight feet worth of garlic. They grew so well that this year I planted 16 square feet with garlic. I love growing stuff this easy.... not like eggplant.... or watermelon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-5204849486482163962009-11-30T22:38:28.786-07:002009-11-30T22:38:28.786-07:00Good Luck!

First frost has already come and gone long ago here in Taos, NM at 7000', but the ground is not frozen yet... Well, not completely frozen yet. I am ever hopeful of my garden, and will likely be found out in the snow planting away very soon, after all, I've got volunteer tat soi and dill sprouting from seed out there and my kale and chard are still holding strong.<br /><br />Wish me luck too:)formofsoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908218462892617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-55218505497103930522009-11-30T17:28:16.706-07:002009-11-30T17:28:16.706-07:00I have been wavering on planting garlic, its so in...I have been wavering on planting garlic, its so inexpensive to buy good garlic and I can get more from the garden with other crops, however, growing your own always has that allure..... hmmmmmm.......ChicagoMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753886754710524372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-47654187481202724762009-11-30T10:11:25.311-07:002009-11-30T10:11:25.311-07:00We just planted our garlic yesterday as well.
