Hello all,
I am in the Youngstown area in Ohio, zone 5. I have tried to grow garlic several times, in many different types of soil. ( I grow only in containers, and make my own soil). Every fall I plant, after reclaiming the pot from a veggie, and in the spring the bulbs never sprout. I have found them rotted in the pot, just laying there not growing, and sometimes not found them at all...All the old time garlic growers here tell me to plant in the fall, but I have heard that I can also plant in the spring too. Any opinions?
And a second question, is there anyone in this ng that makes homemade fruit brandy/wine? I have a recipe that has been handed down for generations from the old country that I would like to try, but I have a few questions.
