A guide on how to grow Garlic .
I plant Garlic twice a year. In Early spring and in late September. There are several types of garlic.
Softneck garlic -which is the garlic in which you see at your typical grocery store.

Artichoke garlic - is a milder flavor garlic that can be stored up to eight months.

silverskin garlic - Is a easy to grow garlic with a strong taste and stores up to 12 months.
