Stupid question but does the garlic infest the other plants besides it w garlic essence
anyways, w garlic, can u just plant like one boat (??) of garlic or like the whole thing n it will grow, mby chinese garlic is good idk, like when its too long in the fridge n it starts growing a green stalk, but idk if that means it can be planted just like that tooĀ 
In my experience, not really - I've heard folks say if you plant it next to your greens they may pick up a garlicy taste, but if it does, it's mild, I've never really noticed it.
Garlic makes a good companion plant for most plants (except beans and asparagus) because its strong scent repels many pests.

To grow garlic, you plant one clove for each plant you want at the end of the season (where I live, we plant garlic in October), mulch with straw thick, and just wait.
If you have hardneck varieties of garlic it will send up a scape in spring/summer and that is its 'flower' - you want to pull that entire stalk off so it keeps putting energy into the bulb - but you can eat the scape and they are DELICIOUS - softneck garlic does not produce a scape.
If you don't remove the scape, the flower looks like several little cloves of garlic, and it will drop them into the soil eventually and they will act as new seeds but the bulb will be smaller - some permaculture gardeners just let garlic do its thing and don't try to controlĀ  it for the largest harvest, which is fine also.Ā 

I've tried planting garlic from the grocery store, and even when it sprouts, it never seems to grow outdoors so I have no idea what they do to it lol
I however have never put garlic in the fridge? If it's properly cured (which means laid out until its COMPLETELY dry before removing the leaves) you shouldn't have to refrigerate it.Ā 
I don't rlly think we need to refrigerate it but we do idk why lol. Also gotta wait until fall damn šŸ˜­ anyways what do u mean w the amount of plant thing. If I put one garlic clove in the ground, will it grow to like one bulb or garlic, multiple, or just one gigantic garlic clove (god I feel stupid)

My soil is not acidic enough to grow blueberries, I thought about trying to acidify a spot and make it work, but where I rent this place, it just seems like too much effort, so my friends grow blueberries and we trade.

I think growing carrots is fun, I love growing root veg

As long as you have at least 3 months you should be fine.
I plant mine in fall because it's not like I'm really growing much else at that time, so I have plenty of garden space available.

yeah that's the scape, I pull those off.
If you grow garlic cloves that way, they are smaller, and the bulb under the ground is smaller, because the plant is putting energy into the flower (scape)

I pull the scapes off because they are so deliciousĀ

my old colleges farm, if I can catch them in time, will let me come out to the garlic fields and collect all the scapes (they pull them off but dont sell enough to wash and package them), and give them to me for free, and I make pickles out of them and bring some back to the farm workers.Ā

I put most of my plants in the ground!

I'm trying a new method of growing tomatoes where instead of having a bed of just rows of tomatoes, I'm putting one or two tomatoes amongst other plants.

Unfortunately, because my garden space is limited, I had to plant peppers and tomatoes after each other (which is a crop-rotation-no-no) but I didn't have room to do it any other way.

I'm supposed to be building two new raised beds but haven't gotten around to it yet.Ā 

I got my onion sets in the ground too, and my parsnip seeds, peppers, tomatoes, ground cherries, flowers
I need to put all my seeds out too but I'm already running out of space (plus this rain would wash them away)
