You can grow garlic both indoors and outdoors.

However, when growing at home, you will not get a head of garlic, but sprouts.

The green tip of the garlic is also very tasty and healthy.

You can use the herbs as a seasoning or garnish, as the flavor of the stalks is slightly milder than that of the garlic itself.

Growing garlic indoors

Garlic can be easily grown at home on a windowsill, as this plant does not require complex care.

To grow garlic greens in a pot, plant 3-4 cloves in the soil.

Choose a south-facing window sill, as the plant loves the sun's rays.

After the precipitation of garlic, water the soil with water.

After about a week, green garlic can be cut and added to cooking.

This is a convenient option for those who want to have constant access to fresh greens at home.

The cloves give one serving of greens, so you will need to plant new ones.

Growing garlic outdoors

To grow outdoors, garlic needs well-drained soil with low acidity.

Plant garlic in the fall.

In about 7-8 months you will get a harvest.

To help the plant grow, add compost and other specialty fertilizers.

Grow garlic in a location that receives a lot of sunlight.

By following these growing tips, you'll get a rich harvest of garlic both indoors and out in the garden.
