Garlic. Alium sativum
Garlic is a member of the onion family used in a lot of cookery well known for its taste and smell
The name comes from Anglo Saxon “gar” a lance and “leac” meaning a pot herb.

It is a perennial grows with a bulb with 5-15 bulblets (cloves) leaves grow up to24 inches 60 cm long has pinkie white flowers in the summer.

How to grow your garlic You can get garlic sets from garden centres or you could grow from a clove from one you buy to cook with I think the results from a set bought for the purpose of growing might be better.
Choose a sunny spot in your garden In October /November is the best time for planting but plant in spring they will be OK Plant each individual clove 6 inches 15 cm apart so they are just buried nose just peeping through. The cloves will develop and grow their own baby cloves of garlic surrounding them.


Garlic is good for you containing vitamins A, B1, B2, C. Has antibacterial substances
Garlic is widely used provides protection against common cold, dysentery, and Typhoid it is used in the treatment of hypertension and arteriosclerosis.
Lowers the risk of heart attacks reduces the glucose metabolism in diabetes
You can buy garlic capsules.

I personally just eat lots in my food.
Garlic bread, garlic pickle Spaghetti Bolognese Garlic on my pork chops or with chicken, added to soups in a tomato salad the list is endless. I should never get a cold.

Here is my garlic bread recipe

GARLIC BREAD
1 French stick
3ox butter /85 g
1-2 cloves garlic
You can use garlic granules or garlic salt


Put garlic through garlic press, Cream it into the butter.

Slice the bread into thick chunks leaving the base intact spread each side of the bread with garlic butter spread, keep the loaf intact spread a little garlic butter over crust.

Wrap loaf in tin foil. Place in oven at 200 c ga
s 6 heat for 10 minutes then serve hot Delicious with turkey soup.

Apparently eating Parsly after gets rid of garlic bread (read not tried)

There is a lot of folk law surrounding garlic keeps vampires away brings good luck keeps out evil spirits, must work I have never been visited by a vampire. .
