Growing garlic

(With apologies for a font and keyboard which do not contain the french accenture marks.)

I grow massive amounts of herbs: oregano, tarragon, chives (2 varieties) , parsley (2 varieties) savory, marjoram, rosemary, sage, thyme.

To me, garlic is another herb, even though the "good eats" part is underground and not up on a stem.

You as dumb as dirt boy? Everybody knows those are diacritical marks and, French is a proper noun, so capitalize it. Listen up boy, you representing our row, so ship-up or shape-out. We've got an eye on you;->

I do admire your entropy-friendly organization.

I have used them as a ball. I grow elephant garlic and it is pretty mild. I couldn't tell the difference between a large clove or the ball. If you leave the ball, the finished clove will be much bigger and you have more to use. I have found the ball several times when digging my garlic, and just put them back into the ground and left them until the following year. That worked out very well.
