Welcome to our gardening tutorial on planting sprouted garlic bulbs. In this video, we'll show you how to take those sprouted garlic bulbs and turn them into a bountiful harvest.

If you've ever found garlic bulbs sprouting in your kitchen, don't throw them away! Instead, use them to grow your own garlic plants.

 Start by selecting garlic bulbs with firm cloves and healthy green shoots emerging from the top. These sprouts indicate that the garlic is ready to be planted.

Prepare a pot or a garden bed with loose, well-draining soil. Garlic prefers soil with good drainage to prevent rotting.

 Plant the sprouted garlic bulbs with the shoots facing upwards, about 2 inches deep into the soil. Space the bulbs about 4 to 6 inches apart to allow room for growth.

Cover the bulbs with soil and press down gently to secure them in place. Water the soil thoroughly after planting to help settle it around the bulbs."
 "Garlic requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, but be careful not to over water as it can lead to rotting.

 In a few weeks, you'll notice green shoots emerging from the soil. These will grow into tall, leafy plants over the coming months.

 Once the leaves turn brown and start to die back, usually in late spring or early summer, it's time to harvest your garlic bulbs.

Carefully dig up the bulbs using a garden fork or shovel, being careful not to damage them. Brush off any excess soil and allow the bulbs to dry in a warm, well-ventilated area for a few weeks.

 And there you have it! By planting sprouted garlic bulbs, you can enjoy a plentiful harvest of fresh garlic to use in your favourite recipes.
