I mix a few cups with the soil in the ground as I plant the item.

I will cut them off next year. Thanks! Don't you just love fresh garlic? I mince mine and mix it in cream cheese for a tasty spread on crackers. Very good.<BR/><BR/>Skeeter-where do you get miracle gro dirt? Do you mix it in the dirt? 100 tomatoes from three plants is a bunch!

Most of them never made it to eating size as the mole or vole got them! Those pesky little critters! arggggg <BR/><BR/>The Saint tried to grow garlic in Germany also and did not have any luck.
