The perennial, garlic, which is closely related to onions is cultivated for its underground "head," a grouping of perhaps as many as a dozen pungent garlic cloves. To cultivate garlic, which grows in sprout-like clumps, plant individual cloves two inches deep in moist soil. In hot climates, keep your garlic plants as wet as possible. At four months the long, spout-like foliage of garlic will die back signaling that it is time to dig up the cloves. Consumed either raw or used in foods, garlic is an extremely healthy herb. It has been found to lower fatty deposits in arteries by as much as fifty percent and to inhibit the formation of clots. It is an extremely strong herb and you can expect to have "garlic breath" after eating the cloves even when diced and cooked in a recipe.
