Planting Garlic

We decided to have some fun with some old garlic cloves I had. We opened them up and to see what's inside. Then we decided to see what would happen if we planted some. We soaked one of the garlic cloves in water for a day, and did nothing to the other. When we put them in pots and covered them with soil, we watered them equally.

Here's the one that was NOT soaked in water before planting. (in the pot)

And here's the one that was.

We could almost watch it grow! It was amazing how fast the garlic sprouted. In the morning it was starting to show some green...and by bedtime it was markedly taller. The picture above was taken just one day after planting!

And here's what it looks like on day three...

We have yet to see any sprouts from the dry-planted cloves.

We are thinking of pulling them up and soaking them first, too!
