One of the things I was considering growing was garlic. I actually wanted to grow some unique breed but I figured I should start with the basics first.
I've read mix reports about growing garlic in containers. Some say don't do it cause they won't grow and some other people had success.
Based on what I can tell, I believe I just need a big enough container so that the garlic doesn't know it's being grown indoors and i should be fine.
So I used my biggest container that I have and planted 5 cloves of a Quebec Garlic that I got at the farmers market.
I figured if they can grow it in Quebec which has slightly colder weather then I have, I can plant these outdoors next winter and have garlic in the fall.
For now, I'll test indoors.
These were planted on Jan 16 2016. I picked the bigger cloves that have already started sprouting.
Target date for readiness will be Aug/Sept, but since it's inside my house and not getting winterover, it might be ready before the fall.
