Tummy Tuesday : the garlic is growing. Now what?
Tummy Tuesday : the garlic is growing. Now what?
A while ago Irene at My Slice of Mexico did a post on sowing garlic. She remembered that I had thought about growing garlic from a previous post of hers and we talked a bit in the comments. She mentioned she had grown ginger from an organic ginger she’d purchased at the grocers.
So I thought I’d try it. The 99cent store usually has garlic from Mexico in little bags of 3 or 4. I used the last one in my bag and dropped it into a glass of water. It worked! It’s growing.
Uh. Now what do I do?
Such is the hazards of a neophyte gardener, lol.

Fresh garlic sounds good! Especially for Asian cuisine.
I think garlic is great with any cuisine. I love it!
I love to put fresh garlic in my fried rice dishes! 🙂
I do too! Garlic and rice go together like bread and butter.
Oh wow! Make be make some “hwaaaat” garlic sauce to go with your meals! 😉
that sounds like a great idea! I’ve never made garlic sauce before although I’ve eaten it often in restaurants.
Kill it before it eats one of your cats
“Seymour…. I’m hungry” Nah, wrong show. This is a yummy plant that you can eat so it belongs on a cooking show.
In my case, it would be, chip a hole in the ice and plant it!
I don’t think it’ll do very well in an ice hole. Hmmmm, don’t they do that for fishing? I bet your cats watch that ice hole just in case!
Hopefully the ice and snow are gone. No guarantees though. I have planted garlic cloves from the supermarket in the garden and they grew.
That’s cool. I hope mine do as well as yours. Have you planted anything else from the supermarket that grew?
Potato’s or potatoes or whatever. Kept them til the ‘eyes’ grew, then planted each eye. Works.
I’ll have to try potatoes too. I also threw an avocado seed into the ground. WE’ll see if that works.
Well done I put a clove of garlic in the soil and it grew.x??
Cool! Wouldn’t it be great if we could do that with catnip too? Put a few flakes in water and poof! My cats would love that much more than garlic but I prefer garlic myself.
I’m guessing when you need some garlic you just gently separate what you need. Fresh garlic rocks.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
I love fresh garlic too so I’m excited about this. I hope they do alright in the Arizona heat. I might pot them so I can bring them indoors when it gets too hot.
Cool Mary! You have a number of choices now: eat it as green garlic; divide into single cloves and plant them in pots; divide and plant outside (make sure all the white part is well underground.) Or a combination of the above. Happy gardening!
It finally starting warming up today so I think I’ll plant them outside …. although I’ve already put a few in my soup the other day. The stems/leaves taste just like green onions.
Now you’ll be protected from vampires!
Yay! That’s always a good thing!
