Garlic
If you are like me, you have bulbs of garlic in your house that aren’t being used quick enough and they start to grow a green shoot out the top. Take a clove of garlic with one of the green shoots growing out the top of it and plant into topsoil about 1 in. down. You can also place the garlic clove into a cup or bowl with water (not too much water; just enough to cover the bottom). The garlic clove will grow new shoots and a new cluster of cloves will begin to grow. You can harvest a few inches of the shoots or blades as needed for recipes and they will continue to grow back, or you can harvest the cloves after a couple months of growth. Do not cut back the whole sprout because no more sprouts or blades will grow. Hopefully this guide to gardening with kitchen scraps will help you grow a healthy garden full of healthy ingredients for your next delicious culinary adventure. It should allow you to create a cycle of great meals and a bountiful garden.
