Garlic

Yesterday we planted lots of garlic with our garden helper. First we weeded the grassy garden. Then we broke up the clumpy, hard soil with forks and shovels. After that we spread some lime on the smooth soil to help the garlic grow. You can plant garlic between April and August. You plant garlic 5cm deep. If you plant garlic in a sunny place it will produce more bulbs next year. Plant the cloves pointy side up. There is too ends, one end is the flat end and the other is the poky, pointy end. Break each bulb into cloves ~ keeping the papery skin on each clove.
 Warning: Don't eat garlic that has been treated.
