Well tomorrow I will be planting some Garlic cloves, it is about that time. I will be planting the Garlic cloves in an area which I will be starting a new flower bed. Planting Garlic around the perimeter of the bed will keep those dreaded bugs away that enjoy munching of my flowers. I was talking to someone about this today and they asked, “You just put garlic in the ground, that’s it?” Well pretty much. Take the cloves of the Garlic, place about four inches apart from each other around the bed about two inches deep and that is it!
