Not that much to learn...garlic is about the easiest thing to grow, as long as you aren't fighting the variety to grow in an area it is not accustomed to or worried about maximizing size. For me, at least, taste is most important. Since I planted in November, I have lightly weeded a few times for just a few minutes each bed. And that is it, no watering, no fertilizing, nothing. I hid some extra broccoli in a couple garlic patches, so those have gotten a little watering incidentally.

Mine started scaping last week. They sure go fast when they start. I'm torn whether I should break them off. We never eat a whole lot of them. I SHOULD do half and half and keep them divided right up until eating, to see if unbroken plants last longer before sprouting or broken off scapes make bigger bulbs.
