Ah, inflation.

No, no. I haven’t lost my mind (yet).

You see, with the rise of prices, so have I come to realize that many things are simply easier to do on my own. Tomatoes? I’m canning those rather than paying $2 for something that will cost me far less. And you know what pairs beautifully with tomatoes?

Garlic.

There is no reason now, nor has there ever been, to purchase garlic beyond your first bulb. This, of course, does not count for bulbs bought in grocery stores.

No, I’m talking about the kind of garlic that you get to see or that you’ve gotten direct from the farm and is organic. It need not remain so, but it does need to start off like that if you want to grow from the bulb.

Some of the plants nearby can be a bit greedy, sucking up all the good stuff that the tomatoes need to grow big and strong. This can seriously affect both the quality and yield of your tomatoes.
