A true kitchen garden plant. Garlic is easy to grow from cloves and this has the advantage of allowing you to pick a variety you like the taste of. Russian garlic is large but very mild and is a spectacular addition to the vegetable garden. Garlic can be confusing to grow because you harvest them after the plant has died off. The simple rule of thumb is to plant them on the shortest day of the year and harvest them on the longest day of the year.
