Garlic

This garlic showed up as soon as I fenced in the garden area an began watering. The lantana bush is dormant/cut back for winter. The garlic has been growing for 9 years despite harvesting all garlic bulbs yearly. I let one or two go to seed before harvesting in the late summer early fall in Central Texas. Despite freezing weather it grows every spring with zero fertilizer, pesticides . . .. I just water it on occasion. Picture was taken last week of February. I’ll post another picture later in the Summer.

We had 6.5 inches/16.5 CM of rain two days ago with more to come. I was concerned that the garlic would rot. I decided to harvest it early. Some did have a few rotten outer layers but still good. There were a lot of little bulbs on the outside of the main one. Not sure if I will eat them or save to plant them this fall. Two of the larger bulbs were 3.5 inches/8.8 CM in diameter. The lantana bush will have the spot to itself for awhile.
