Project Garlic - It's Lifeless?

Lifeless

Is it lifeless? It sure did take care of the intruder problem but what is happening to the residents? Maybe they are building their foundation first .... I mean growing roots. Guess just have to keep my fingers crossed, keep watering them and hope one of them will pop up real soon!


Patience, patience!

Project Garlic - Mulch in the pot

Garlic 

I noticed that the earth in the pot gets quite dry during the day because of the hot weather and intruders are raring their ugly heads!


Still Lifeless 

The garlic seems to be happy just sitting there while the intruders were busy marking their territories.


Mulched 

I was mowing the lawn and I thought why not mulch it with the grass clipping to keep the intruders at bay and the earth in the pot moist. I have never put mulch in a pot before and it looks like a good idea at that time. Now I'm thinking ... will it affect the garlic?

Project Garlic - Will it or WIll it not?

Yes that is the question, will it grow. I have not planted garlic before. Wanted to try growing it before but was discouraged because garlic is not a tropical thing but then again it is fun just to try it out. After reading most of the posting here in Garden Stew, I decided to plant them in a container for more control.

Totally I planted 7 cloves, 2 already partially buried.


planted 

This is how far I had them buried, I hope it is the rigth depth or should I push deeper in?
