Garlic Growing - William Anderson - Bog

Here comes the autumn, here comes the autumn. The arrival of autumn means it is time to start planting bulbs humming melodious tunes as you sow the seeds. You can surely think of planting colorful flowering plants like tulips, bluebells, and daffodils to create a picturesque view of your garden or planting area. However, some people who have limited planting area want to utilize their space, time and effort on planting something useful. In the list of productive bulbs, garlic has won the hearts of many gardeners by offering numerous beneficial properties at less gardening cost. Garlic can give you thousands of reasons to plant it. Firstly, it is comparatively very easy to grow this plant and the crops are highly rewarding too. Growing your own garlic means you can consume fresh, organic, chemical-free product regularly or sell the extras. Importing garlic causes a lot of problems, like the distance that garlic has traveled, or the percentage of carbon and other chemicals present in the garlic and much more. Therefore, it is best to grow your own if you have a small space. Growing garlic, however, is not for the impatient people as the crops take some months to grow. You can harvest the bulbs once the foliage dies during early summer or late spring. Once harvested, you can store the bulbs and use for several months. If you are an impatient gardener then you can try growing chives and onions which only take 16 weeks to harvest. However, no other crop can ever replace the versatile and multi-beneficial garlic.
