I have started to use a lot of garlic in my cooking (thanks to Emeril Live).
How is it grown? Can you start it from a clove you get at the store?


Yes!


When
is the best time to plant and harvest?


Plant in fall about 2-3 inches deep, 2-3 inches apart, harvest in July,
at least here in N.Y. Garlic is SUPER EASY! In June it will throw up a
ball of I guess they are seeds, cut it off as soon as you see it so that
the bulb will fatten better. In July the foliage will die back. Cut it
down, dig up the bulbs and hang to dry. Plant more in fall!
