My Garlic Plant

So we had an extra clove of garlic in our fridge that started to sprout. I figured why not and plant it? well its been a month and it has grown alot as you can see. I read up on growing garlic and it said that i had to cut the flower stalks otherwise i wont get alot of garlic. I should have read up earlier because it also said to plant one clove at a time and i planted the cluster! Oops! oh well whats the worst that can happen? Anyway when i cut the stalks it smelled so good! it wasnt a strong garlic smell but a very light yummy garlic smell. I cant wait to dig up my garlic when they are done!!
Before i cut those cute stalks!!

After the plant got a buzz cut.

Cody thinks that i am so funny because i am so excited about this plant.

I've grown garlic before and didn't know that. I'm going to cut the flower stalks today.

I think you should plant a garden. You'd love it.
