garlic is a bulb like an onion!. therefore, it's grown underground!. it's easy to grow and grows all year around!. in winter, garlic should be planted about 6 weeks before the soil freezes and harvested in spring!. garlic plants aren't at risk for pests but they can suffer from "pink root" which is a disease that stunts the growth and turns the roots pink or red!. once the plants are harvested, the garlic is ready to flavor your spaghetti or keep the vampires at bay!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Garlic is grown in rows in the ground along with other crops!. 80% of the garlic sold in the US is grown in the Holister/Gilroy region of California near the southern Bay Area!. Although garlic can be grown easily just about anywhere around the world!. The largest garlic packer is Christopher Ranch with several fields in the Gilroy region beyond the original ranch property!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They grow it just like tulips or daffodils!. They put the clove of garlic in the ground in the fall, it sets, and then, come spring, it starts growing! Then, they harvest it and we purchase it!.
