Push each clove into the soil

Point the tips upward and plant the cloves about 2 inches (5cm) deep.
The cloves should be spaced about 20cm (8 inches) apart for best growing conditions.

Caring for Garlic Plants

Water the plants often and Take care of pests such as  Insects, mice, and other creatures because they may come to eat the garlic or make a nest among the plants.

Harvesting the Garlic

Eat some scapes. As the garlic plants begin to grow, long green stalks called scapes will emerge and form loops. Pull off a few scapes and eat them if you wish.

Note the signs of readiness for harvesting

Garlic bulbs are ready to be harvested when you can feel the individual cloves in the bulb, and the leaves turn yellow or brown..

Storing Garlic

Store garlic in a cool, dry place.
