I love garlic! And I really don't like making unnecessary trips to the grocery store. That's why growing my own garlic has become an annual tradition in my Southeast Michigan garden.
The best part? Garlic is one of the easiest and most satisfying crops you can grow!

Harvesting Without Guesswork: Recognize when your garlic is ready and avoid damaging your bulbs.

My gardening philosophy is simple:
One and done, if possible, when possible!
I believe a little preparation can save a lot of unnecessary work later. But I also believe you shouldn't let the fear of making mistakes stop you from planting.
You don't need a huge garden, expensive equipment, or years of experience.
Just start with a few cloves!
If you're growing garlic in a raised bed, a kitchen garden, or a traditional vegetable garden, this guide will help you grow with more confidence and less frustration.
