Garlic is easy to grow and requires very little space in the garden. Garlic grows from individual cloves broken off from a whole bulb. Each clove will multiply in the ground, forming a new bulb that consists of 5-10 cloves. Garlic tastes great roasted or used as a flavoring in many recipes.
Does garlic grow underground or above?
Garlic grows below ground, so it's not easy to tell when the bulb has matured. What's the trick of knowing when to harvest garlic? The short answer is: It's all in the leaves (or rather, the proper ratio of dead leaves to green leaves).
How do garlic cloves multiply?
Garlic, like potatoes, is multiplied by vegetative reproduction rather than by sexual reproduction (seeds). Individual garlic cloves are planted and they each produce a bulb in which the cloves all have the same genetic makeup as the original clove.
