Garlic grows very fast. I placed a few cloves over water and within two days it began to root. It’s been a wk 1/2 and they’re up there. I just planted one in soil to see what happens
You can eat it sooner, and it’s more like a garlicky green onion but still edible, and can be used to garnish food, you can also eat the curving leaf that will produce a flower to focus its energy in its bulb. You can eat it for most of its life span, if you want garlic from the store you need to grow it for 9 months and dry for like 2 weeks.
Garlic is delicious I've tried the taste before and I didn't realize it was good for the heart and now I realize it is because it keeps everyone healthy, and thank you Jesus Christ Amen
