1 Garlic can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, but fall planting is recommended for most gardeners. Plant in the fall and youâll find that your bulbs are bigger and more flavorful when you harvest the next summer.  In areas that get a hard frost, plant garlic 6 to 8 weeks before that frost.
When it comes to using garlic for its medicinal properties, however, you should eat it according to these following rules: 1  Garlic shouldnât be eaten by itself to prevent disorders of the digestive system. 2  The amount of garlic needed is based on the bodyâs size. 3  Crush the garlic around the time you intend to eat it.
