    Does garlic grow cloves easily? I know onion doesn’t bulb very easily, preferring bolting, and only once every two years, but I don’t know about garlic

      Very easily. We’ve done garlic two years in a row and its pretty damn easy. You just have to plant it the late fall, mulch for winter, and then harvest late summer.

      Oh! And if you get scapes, cut them all off! They’ll pull resources from the bulb, plus they taste good.

      Check a local farmers market for garlic bulbs to buy and plant.
