Garlic imparts a tangy, indescribable, incredible flavor to food and has a plethora of health benefits, most of which you have probably heard of. It has anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant, antifungal, anti-clotting, antiseptic and antibiotic properties. Garlic is also one of the most beneficial plants when it comes to co-planting, or companion planting, having natural fungicidal and pesticidal properties. Not only can growing garlic deter aphids and other common, damaging garden pests, it can improve the flavor of those vegetables you grow it with. Garlic can be planted weeks prior to the last frost date in early spring, though the experts recommend fall planting for the best flavor and the optimal crop. Garlic is exceedingly hardy, so plant your garlic this fall, and reap the rewards next summer. You can read all of our fall garlic planting tips here. |
