I bought my first home last summer. It just so happens that the folks who owned the home before me were avid gardeners so I inherited three raised garden beds.\u00a0One day I got the bright idea to dive right into gardening. No, “let’s take it easy this year.” No, “let’s just start with tomato plants.” No. I went from zero to sixty.<\/p>\n
I hopped online and purchased heirloom organic vegetable seeds<\/a>, seed starter kits, heat mats<\/a>, shelving<\/a>, lights, and created a full on grow area in my basement. It looks like I am a doomsday prepper. Surprisingly, most of my seedlings are doing fairly well, and I’m not\u00a0entirely<\/em> overwhelmed yet. But I can feel it coming.<\/p>\n One of the easier things I’ve started to grow indoors is garlic. I simply purchased organic garlic and split the large bulb into pieces. Then I planted the individual garlic cloves point up in 6″ of soil, watered it, and covered the containers in plastic wrap. Who knew it could be so easy to grow?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best part is that as the garlic bulbs grow, the plant produces a stalk called “garlic scapes.” What the
\nheck is a garlic scape you ask?<\/strong> Well, it’s a flower stalk that rises out of garlic as the bulb grows. The scapes grow very tall and eventually begin to curl. If left unharvested, the garlic bulbs will be stunted due to competing for resources. To avoid small, flavorless garlic, it’s best to harvest the scapes every 12 inches or so.<\/p>\n
