So a while back we cleaned out the fridge, and rather than chucking the sprouting, dried up garlic cloves from the top shelf, I stuck them in the ground. Quite a few sprouted, and I pulled one up a few months back and it didn’t look anything like garlic. So we just left them alone to keep growing.
Then, during the recent rains, a friend suggested we pull them up before they get all dank and slimy. To our surprise, they had turned into small but perfectly formed bulbs! And they’re a beautiful shade of pink. And to top it off, they’re totally delicious.
