Are you growing your own? At least for the greens? They go with everything.

Garlic is self sterile in most cases like Saffron, you grow Garlic from garlic (like most Alliums, many Alliums are not sterile, but still grown from clones). In almost any climate you can grow it. These peeps are trying to revive the wild form. https://hoodrivergarlic.com/

If you have a windowsill and a pot, really just a bit of dirt, delicious garlic can be yours at home.

If you grow just for greens take your smallest cloves, not worth peeling, and stick them in the dirt. If you are growing for bulbs use the most flavorful and disease resistant.

Like Saffron, plant it randomly for future generations , and let it spread, it is not invasive.

Edit: tomorrow is Fajitas night, so some of these will die for the cause. Please pour one out for my dead homies.

    I have a couple of Aerogardens and I’m growing different herbs in one and tomatoes and cucumbers in the other. Never thought to try garlic. Might have to give it a try.

      It really will grow almost anywhere, and it costs you nothing if you use the redheaded stepchildren, smallest cloves for greens. (You probably can’t say that anymore, but since I am one, evs yo).
