Garlic is impossibly easy to grow. Don’t plant supermarket bulbs as they are sprayed so they don’t sprout. Go to your farmers market, garden centre or friendly neighbour. One bulb will produce 10 or more the next year and so on and so on. We had over 150 this year. It also keeps the bugs down in the garden. We’re always giving them away!
