EP3 Garlic Sep 13, 2019

Garlic is relatively easy to grow and stores extremely well. It's also incredibly good for you. The garlic requirements of an average family can be easily satisfied by even the smallest vegetable patch, or container. Take any bulb of garlic, break out the cloves and stick them in to the ground spaced about 4 inches apart, and each clove will eventually turn in to a bulb of garlic.

Synopsis

Michael Kelly, founder of GIY (Grow It Yourself), and Karen O'Donohoe offer step-by-step guidance in growing vegetables in raised beds and containers. Each episode focuses on a single vegetable, and moves from seed, through thinning, watering, and potential problems, to the kitchen. A guest cook demonstrates 1-3 recipes anyone can replicate at home. The series is filmed in the brilliant landscape colors of Southern Ireland, but the gardening and cooking principles are universal.

Reviews

Daninger very weak, unfortunately
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
