Garlic is seriously one of the EASIEST things to grow! Plant it in the fall, mulch it heavily with straw to over-winter. Let it grow all summer, (it likes a good amount of water and does NOT like weeds!) harvest in the fall, replant in the fall from what you’ve grown/harvested that season. Repeat.

I’ve stopped buying Avocados from Mexico as I’ve read that the drug cartels have taken over production and/or are strong-arming the MX farmers that grow Avocados.

Anyone know the skinny on that? Thanks!
