Grow Garlic in a Container

Easy
We've recently moved into a new home with no backyard. While we are still putting in the landscape, I didn't have a place to plant garlic.
Instead, I chose to plant it in a container and not miss out on fresh garlic next summer.
Growing garlic in a container is as easy as it gets.
Add some potting soil to any container. Really! Anything will work for this.
Plant the garlic pointy side up about twice its depth.
In one week these guys popped up. That's how easy it is.
Once June rolls around, my back porch will be covered in drying garlic.
Fresh garlic, anyone!
