You would not believe the beautiful secret that she gave me: “You don’t have to care for it.” This plant is just incredible. You get a couple of bulbs in the fall. You divide them and plant them. Leave them in the ground for winter and spring. And Voilà! In June, you get prime perfect homegrown bulbs and the flavor is just divine. Garlic is also known herbal medicine and a wonderful spice. If you have a little space in your garden, or even in your flower beds, now is the time to plant your bulbs. And now you know how to grow garlic plants in the fall.
