Before and After, Growing Your Own Garlic

Garlic clove with sprout
Garlic plants about four wks old
I've discussed how easy it is to grow your own garlic.  Here I want to show you an example so you can see how it works.  On the left of the screen is a garlic clove.  The clove has been in a glass jar for about two weeks.  You can see the sprout shooting out from the top. Four weeks ago I placed two similar cloves in a pot covering the clove to the base of the sprout.  Now I have two healthy plants that will produce fresh garlic as shown on the right.
