Puny but packs a punch.First off I need to apologize for the lack of food postings. I haven't really made anything inspiring in my kitchen due to life outside the kitchen. I just want to get it over and done with but that won't be happening soon because some things are just out of my control.
Remember those garlic cloves I planted? Well they've grown but they do not look like your typical garlic. Well, they didn't grow into multiple bulbs but I quite expected it because I planted the garlic in the wrong season. Merely just to try really.
Small roots, small bulb.So what I reaped from my garlic patch is this small bulbous, onion looking, one unit clove. It smells like garlic but texture wise, it reminds me of springs onions. Unlike garlic the usual texture, which is rather dense, it is rather light and airy. It does resemble an onion, texture wise.

Cool stuff! Well done on yr first onion from the garden.
tigerfish: Yea it it does haha
boolicious: oh it's actually garlic not onion. Planted it in the wrong season so its growth got stunted from the lack of root development :P
I wish I could grow things. Plants just seem to die at my hands. ;)
i am no good with plants too! my plants all look miserable :)
while i was away for 3 mths my mom has been helping me collect my mail from home. she waters whatever plants i have left and somehow her occasional care seems to make them grow so well :) i obviously didn't inherit her green fingers!
stephan: my garlic bulb is more of a miss than a hit really lol. I don't really have the green fingers either and a lot of herbs and plants have died in my hands before this, unfortunately.
Tracy: hmm from what you're telling me you could be watering them too much. Plants grow better when they're watered every 2 days or when their soil is dry. Too much watering will cause the roots to rot. That's what my mom always tells me, i use to drown my plants a lot lol.
ahhh.... mine didn't grow... maybe i didn't do it right, but looking at your result i will try again.
penang kampung girl: hey there, i was born in Penang! Yea, good luck, i hope your garlic grows next try :)
