Now if we can throw some tomatoes, celery, and onions into that subject line, we'd have a pretty good soup. At 02:40 PM 7/29/04 +1000, Helene Gannac wrote:

If you plant that single bulb, it will split into a number of cloves the same shape as, but larger than, ordinary garlic. (Plus a number of seedlike hard-shelled bulbs.) If you then plant the cloves, the smaller ones will grow into solid bulbs like the one you started with, and the larger ones will grow into another cluster of cloves. It isn't winter hardy, but may survive if mulched heavily. Ordinary garlic is very hardy, and can be a noxious weed. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where it's sunny and not too hot.
