Garlic, one of the healthiest foods we can easily procure and consume in our country, is very easy to plant and grow in almost any type of soil. Being a very healthy vegetable with a unique taste, there's no need to wait any longer to plant it, especially if you are passionate about gardening.
The first thing to do is take a garlic clove and separate it into pieces. The "tools" you will need for planting garlic are your palm, to delimit the space between the planted garlic and your thumb, to measure the depth at which the planting should be done.
Although not mandatory, the soil is recommended to be very well enriched with natural fertilizer, and respecting the size between the planted garlic cloves is essential; otherwise, the plants will compete with each other for nutrients and water, and you will not benefit from such a productive harvest.
After arranging the garlic cloves you want to plant, place a plank or wooden board between the layers so that you can step on it without tamping down the soil too hard, which needs to be well fragmented.
Remember, garlic must be planted with the thicker, rougher end down and the thinner, pointier end up!
The first leaves will emerge relatively quickly, especially if the soil is well fertilized, and when the garlic flower appears, which will look like a green stalk, it is advisable to break it off to allow the plant to continue developing, focusing on the roots.
The freshly broken flower can be used in dishes such as soups or salads, having a delicious taste very similar to garlic.
