Are you growing your own? At least for the greens? They go with everything.

Garlic is self sterile in most cases like Saffron, you grow Garlic from garlic (like most Alliums, many Alliums are not sterile, but still grown from clones). In almost any climate you can grow it. These peeps are trying to revive the wild form. https://hoodrivergarlic.com/

If you have a windowsill and a pot, really just a bit of dirt, delicious garlic can be yours at home.

If you grow just for greens take your smallest cloves, not worth peeling, and stick them in the dirt. If you are growing for bulbs use the most flavorful and disease resistant.

Like Saffron, plant it randomly for future generations , and let it spread, it is not invasive.

Edit: tomorrow is Fajitas night, so some of these will die for the cause. Please pour one out for my dead homies.

    Cool, thanks! I have some plants that I brought indoors that are under a grow light. I can try putting some garlic in a pot and see how it goes.

      heh. no worries. For the record, the living wall was the best thing I did with my apartment when I was still living in one. Something about the fresh herbs, the leafy greens, and the constant supply of actually-good tomatoes.

      other good plants, if you want to get your plant-parent on, include things like strawberries and small cucumbers, peppers. The caveat with those is you’re likely to have to pollinate manually. Living walls are fun way to get fresh food and get some greenery inside.
