Growing garlic (4): update


Our garlic is not looking too bad. Also you can now see a difference between the two types I planted. I planted the largest cloves from some big garlic bulbs I bought at the organic market and 1 clove from regular store-bought garlic. The red arrow is the store bought clove. Go little dude, go. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can show you the difference in yield.



I'm still a bit nervous about the outcome. The clay soil we have here holds a lot of moisture, and even though I tried to thoroughly dig the soil and get it properly loose before planting, I'm not sure there is enough drainage. I don't want the cloves to rot. But we'll see what happens. The stalks seem to be doing alright, so I guess it can't be all bad, right? On the upside, on hot and dry days when we don't have time to go over and water everything, the added moisture retention helps.
