Garlic?

So, I was thinking about growing some garlic. Hell, the only reason I have ever thrown out garlic was because it started growing on its own. I was thinking about doing it in doors with the rest of my plants. How much room do they need?

I have been trying to grow it for the last month. I have about3 going. One indoor under floro, one in flower room with weed, and one outside.

They all seem to grow nice green stem/leafs very fast and root really well and fast as well. But after 2-4 weeks they die off. I think it needs to be cooler temps. I think I will try in winter and see how it goes. So far I do have 3 still alive, but they like water and no fert what so ever or they die fast.

Presuming you're referring to actual garlic, you plant in the fall in most of the U.S. for a July harvest.

Many years ago, there was this one Ladies yard that I mowed. Late in the day in the Summer, when the shade gave relief of the hot day. This lady had wild onion & wild garlic growing in her San Augustine grass.
After I had mowed, the air became full & intense with the smells of fresh cut grass, garlic & onion. It was incredible! One day, I'll intentionally do the same.

For outdoor gathering or for just sitting outside without being attacked by 'skeeter's, garlic spray, either bought or homemade, will keep them away. Just spray an hour or so ahead of outdoor time, and everybody will be fine. Now, the Master Gardeners are saying that dried, crushed garlic spread out throughout the yard will keep the skeeter's away, also. Plus repel bee's, evil-eye, all kinds of stuff. However, reports made states that it attracts Italians, so use accordingly.

Garlic is insanely easy to grow outdoors. Planting/harvest dates depend on location. Where I live it it is planted around Thanksgiving and harvested in May.
