Grow, Cook, Eat — Season 1, Episode 3: Garlic
Documentary • 24 min • 1 season, 7 episodes
Episode synopsis
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.
About Grow, Cook, Eat
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.
