October is garlic planting time!



Who doesn't love garlic??  
I use it in so many things. Roasted, sauteed, stuffed, in bread...the uses are endless!!!A few years ago I planted my own garlic and had great success.  This fall I was lucky enough to attend the Shaker Heights Ohio Annual Garlic Festival.  It was truly everything that is garlic.  What fun! http://www.clevelandgarlicfestival.org/.  I brought home 3 different types of garlic and was careful enough to set aside some for planting.

So now the month of October is almost over and I noticed that my garlic has yet to be planted.  Planting time and harvest time are easy!  Plant before Halloween and harvest around the 4 of July.  How simple:)  Last year I planted mine in my front planter.  This year I've decided to plant my garlic is a wooden planter similar to this one.
