This is our second year growing garlic. We used cloves from the first year's harvest. We are having fun, but don't exactly know what we are doing! We plant the cloves, cover with dead leaves/cardboard for the winter, uncover in the spring, and wait to harvest scapes and bulbs. That's it.

What are your garlic growing tips/strategies? Do you feed your bulbs at any particular time?

So many! Did some not split into multiple cloves? Its hard to tell from the photo.

I only grew garlic once by accident. I planted a couple of cloves in a pot and forgot about them the plant part grew and died without me noticing and when I dumped the dirt into a new pot to reuse I found a few big bulbs of garlic. It was a big surprise and I really had to think back to how they got there. But due to the accidental nature of how they came to be I cant say I have any advice.
