Garlic is a gateway vegetable.Low-maintenance and resilient, a successful garlic crop can easily be grown by even inexperienced gardeners, leading to an overconfidence in growing skills and a precipitous descent into the gardening lifestyle typically ending in an obsession with home-canned tomatoes, prairie dresses, and, not infrequently, the acquisition of a herd of dairy goats.A step-by-step guide to growing garlic from seed selection to harvest and storage, this booklet provides an accessible, albeit irreverent introduction to the world of garlic with additional tips and tricks for more experienced growers.Complete with processing instructions for homemade garlic powder and herbed garlic salt recipes, you'll find everything needed to produce and preserve a harvest of this all-star allium. Sense of propriety and prairie dress sizing options not included.
