I love garlic and I keep buying more and more and buying better and better qualities from farmers in my area.
Then I thought, what the hell? .... I can grow my own
Then I realized how long it freakin takes to grow garlic .... you have to plant them in the fall, and hope that they take in the spring and grow by the summer ... and depending on how good your situation is, you have a 50/50 chance of having a good harvest or not.
Yeah, it’s not really worth it unless you’re doing a lot imo. I just put in about 200 that I don’t expect to harvest until summer.
Can you even store that much garlic? 6 months is the most I manage to keep, and that would be a lot more than I would ever be able to use in that time.
Yeah, I don’t know what it is about my storage conditions but we have no trouble keeping our garlic and squash well into spring. As for getting through it all, we love garlic and 99% of our meals are home cooked.
