It is super easy to grow garlic in water. If you have any spare cloves, or shop bought ones that have started sprouting, simply pop them in a little bit of water and they will grow quickly. And I mean they are really speedy!!

I am kind of late planting garlic. I wrote an article recently on 'growing garlic in pots' and it made me decide to just go for it. It's late but not too late.
