We built that garden last spring. It’s next to our garage against a south facing wall. Honestly that photo doesn’t do justice either because those plants grew all the way to the roof then fell over on each other. It was amazing, our harvest was the best its ever been. The plants in the front were our pepper plants and they produced like crazy too.

Yep – I always plant a bulb or two worth of cloves in early November or right before the gardens freeze. I have had luck every year I’ve done it this way. Some are small, but the key is to cut off the flower stems as soon as they start to spin. Then leave them until the plant seems to die off.If they’re small, re-sow the cloves for next year.
