Earth To Eats

Time to order your garlic! (Actually it is a little past time…)

Two years ago we tried our hands at growing garlic here in Central PA and we were astounded with the results.  Growing was easy, harvesting was fun and eating was awesome!  Scott has shared garlic with many online friends and we’ve gifted some to our family and friends as well.  In fact we had enough that we didn’t need to replant until this year.

We get our garlic from Karen and Mike at www.wegrowgarlic.com. They are the nicest people (actually respond to emails themselves) and boy do they grow great garlic!  We’ve found their prices to be reasonable and their selection outstanding.  The first time around we missed out on many varieties because we didn’t order until September.  This year we ordered a week after their shop opened (in July) and we still missed out on some – this stuff goes that fast!

If you have ever wanted to try garlic, make this year the year and go to Karen and Mike’s website here. We grew enough for two years of eating and sharing in a small plot so you don’t need lots of room. Want to know how to do it?  Check out Scott’s post here on harvesting our garlic and you’ll see our tiny plot.  Interplant with marigolds and you barely have to weed at all.  The only thing you really need is decent sun and the plot should not have standing water – the bulbs will rot.

Come on… give garlic a try!
