True aficionados of garlic claim that once you've tasted the homegrown version, you'll never eat a store-bought bulb again. Garlic takes about eight months to mature. Fortunately, it thrives through the winter as far north as USDA zone 2.

on 11/22/2005 Most bulbs need the cold to sprout. I was late in planting the garlic one year, so I stuck the cloves of garlic in the refrigerator for 3-4 days (until the pointed end started to sprout). Voila - ready to plant garlic bulbs!
