Responses:

don't over feed garlic or you get more green less bulb (same with radish/carrots) also there's a thing about companion planting garlic with roses. - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:19
This feels like Steve Martin's bit about how to become a millionaire. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:15 13
- Haven't heard this one, so I googled it. -- (link) - Bacon Apr 5, 10:16 [youtube] 12
  - I think I get your reference. But in the video you are taking a clove of garlic and turning it into many cloves of garlic. - Bacon Apr 5, 10:20 11
    - Yes - but he starts with more garlic than I would need at the end of a year or could preserve. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:23 10
      - Oh, for sure. I am going to do it with a single clove to make a half dozen. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:24 9
        
        I've got an "allium row" going, but I always have trouble getting a full clove out of it - Reagen Apr 5, 10:44 8
        
        Do those both seed from the flowers and grow out at the bottom? -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:49 7
        
        I've never gone to flower with garlic. I just plant the cloves. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:50 6
        
        I just started that garlic grow like the video showed. Didn't have a water bottle so I used a diet coke cat. Cut off the top and bent the sides in - Bacon Apr 5, 10:53 5
        
        I also started a ginger plant (in a big pot) from a thumb of it - Reagen Apr 5, 10:59 1
        
        Niiice! Also like the shallot post below. I am growing purple onions for the first time this year, but those are from starts at the nursery. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 11:02
        
        I wanna say like 3 months to harvest? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:57 2
        
        That's not bad at all. I will slightly move the earth away to see how it develops without committing to dig up until it looks solid. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:58 1
        
        I've had good luck with shallots, which grow similarly. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:00
