Keep an eye on the garlic after it has been planted. As bulbs of garlic form in the ground, thin green leaves sprout through the dirt. These leaves are a direct indicator of how well the garlic is doing; when they begin to brown from the bottom up, the garlic will be ready to harvest shortly. Check the size of the garlic bulbs when the leaves are about 1/3 brown.
Garlic can be successfully grown in pots. Use a fresh standard growing medium. Typically plant 3 cloves to a 6â pot, 6 to an 8â pot and 8 - 10 to a 10â pot. Be sure to use pots with at least 6â depth to allow adequate freedom for the roots. Keep well watered and stand outside on a patio or window ledge.
