   I have been trying to grow garlic for probably ten years now.   
   They always fail on me.  I am not about to spend 40 U$D plus   
   shipping for planting garlic.   
      
   We have a lot of commercial garlic farmers out here.  What they   
   grow is top secret.  If I could get my hands on some of it at   
   one of the farmers markets, I bet I'd finally get a good crop.   
      
   Unfortunately, our local farmers markets mostly sell crafts.   
   You know the stuff that you build yourself and costs you   
   three times what just bought it prebuilt.   
      
   I am thinking of just getting some from the local supermarket/   
   Wally World etc.  The organic bulbs have been rather small   
   lately.  I will pick through the bin.
