Little Garlic that could...

This poor garlic bulb has had a very traumatic life this far.

I had rescued the sprouting bulb from the freezer at work and planted it in the veggie patch at home. A few weeks had gone by and the bulb had developed long thin leaves that were looking great!

My mom came to visit and thought the leaves were grass and plucked them off! This is why we don't allow her in the garden...

Again, I rescued the bulb, I dug it up, trying not to damage the roots it had worked so hard to grow, and I placed it in a jar on my kitchen window sill...

I left this on the window sill for a couple of weeks, until I started to see the top turning a green colour, indicating there was some kind of growing happening. I then transplanted it into the herb bowl I have (hid it from my mom...) and it has finally started to sprout more leaves again!

I am not too sure how long it will take before I can harvest, but I will keep you posted!
