Did you know garlic is both a vegetable and an herb? If you want this flavorful seasoning in your garden next spring, you'll want to get it planted in the fall, about six weeks before the ground freezes. This will ensure the plants will begin to emerge in March or early April. While you're waiting on your garlic, consider some of these interesting facts:
- If your rose garden is being attacked by aphids – or plant lice – spritz the leaves and blooms with a mixture of crushed garlic and water.
- Drinking lemon juice or eating a few slices of lemon will stop bad garlic breath.
