Garlic and Tulip Trees
 

Last year I let my garlic go to seed and gave away a bunch of the bulbils (seeds which are like mini-bulbs) to folks here on the forum.

I'd love to know how you made out with your garlic this year.

I also adopted out some tulip trees, and would like to hear how those made out too... especially with our dry, dry season.

What a combination ... garlic with tulip trees! :)

Wish I could have gotten some garlic seed.

Tulip trees?????

I'd love to see those pictures as well. Good for you to help in giving the gifts of the garlic and tulips. It is cold and rainy with temp rarely above 64 here year round. Tulips flurish here. I keep asking hubby to get some. Maybe this year he will.

Regarding using garlic you buy in the grocery for growing, do not use stoe bought. It has been treated with a chemical to retard sprouting. Go to a website that sells seeds for gardening and flowers , you can buy garlic bulbs for growing your own garlic. Here is a website for the US:www.parkseeds.com I have no monetary interest in this site but it is one I have bought from in the past and the quality of the seeds and plants is top notch.

Tulip Magnolias. I have one that is estimated to be 150 years old ~ same age as our house. Absolutely gorgeous in the spring when it blooms before the leaves arrive.

you haven't tasted garlic untill you try home grown garlic. It is so different from store bought. Yum- yum!

peace

Might want to first find out what kind of 'tulip tree'
It could be Magnolia, as has already been mentioned, but I have a Tulip Tree, Liriodendron tulipifera
When I google 'tulip tree' I get the images for both

I have two Tulip Magnolia trees in my yard. One is getting fairly big. The other one is planted under the branches of an oak tree so I don't think it is going to get very large anytime soon. They were here when I bought the house. I love the fragrance of the flowers.
