Garlic

Hi guys. Haven't been around HG in a while. Been pretty busy. Just purchase our first house.

Anyways. I am planning a veggie garden this year. Well I have some garlic that has been sitting in my kitchen window for cooking. But its growing a large stalk on it. I was wondering if I could plant this? I read that autumn is a better time to plant garlic so it can get a good root base and lie dormant for a bit, but I read that early spring is ok.

Thanks for any input

Amber

Welcome home, good to see you back YellowRose!! It appears it's starting to grow I would put it in the ground and let it do it's thing.

YR, we have the social garlic planted all over the yard due to the mole problems we had ten years ago. It is up two feet now and yesterday I started pulling some of the clumps up and just tossing it into the compost bin. So you don't have to just plant it in the garden.
