It can't hurt. I would imagine you get fewer cloves per bulb but it would be better than nothing. Probably plant it as soon as you can get soil worked and holes in the ground.

It isn't that you would get fewer cloves, it would be that the cloves would be smaller.

I like garlic but knowone has grown any since I was little. My favorite is to eat the garlic cloves out of the garlic dill pickles we make.

LOL! I would pick out the garlic and leave the pickles! I do not like pickles (cakes) but it is funny, I love cucumbers and love other pickled things, but there is just something about pickles I have never been able to get passed.

Beautiful chicks holm!! What breeds? I have two super blue eggs that I hope hatch. My pet chicken (gasp for using them) gave me a credit a while back ago for some chicks I bought (original chickens for egg production for my csa). So I ordered a few hatching eggs from them. 50% rate, average for shipped. Hope they hatch!!! Every time I get Easter eggers that are blue or green layers, they end up cream. These aren't the prettiest birds, but they are supposed to definely lay blue, lol.

The two light colored chicks are half Cochin and half who knows what breed. And the rest are half Australorp cross roo and half who knows what.


Cant wait to see those chicks!

Even better than plain Garlic is Garlic and and jalapenos stuff olives! Oh they r so good! We get them at Costco. Cut them in half put cream cheese on them and then wrap them in wonton wrappers and then fry. Its worth trying!

I didn't get mine in in time this past fall. I read though that you can put it in in early spring and have smaller bulbs. Have any of you tried that? I spent $50 on locally grown garlic, I really don't want to waste it!

I did that the first year before we researched it and found it needs planting in the fall. They were very small and not well developed at all. But, as Klop said, if you got it, try it. It is usually too dried out by now and sprouting if you still have it.

My sister also said she has left hers in the refrigerator and it starts sprouting and growing roots early, so she stuck it in the ground in Spring and she got good garlic to use.

I was told the garlic needs to freeze to help form the cloves. Spring planted would garner a few larger cloves only.

Maybe this is not true?

We've been giving our new chickens (1 year old, new to us as of about 2 weeks ago) a tray of calcium in the coop and boy did they tie into that. They must have been low even though our layer feed has calcium also.

Our yolks have now become much, much darker yellow and the eggs have even gotten bigger. Yesterday, one egg was speckled leading us to believe one of the hens that hasn't lay'ed before has begun laying eggs (since we've never had a speckled egg before).

Amazing what the difference in food and nutrients can do.

A friend of mine wants to buy hatching eggs from me. Do you generally charge the same for hatching eggs as eating eggs?
