I have planted garlic in pots with good results, but you have to plant one glove for each pot or one seed if you use seeds (I don´t). I also have chives in pots, oregano, parsil and coriander. All grow well. Luck!!!

I even recycle cardboards from milk and make holes in the bottom when I don´t have containers. I hope your garlic thrives. Tell us about it.

pepper plant - These are newly transfered pepper plants in pots
hello Nyang I tried planting garlic, pepper, and onions in pots too. Fortunately, all are doing well until these days. The problem is I do not when to gather the garlic. For onions and peppers, there is no problem because you can readily see if the leaves and fruits are ready for picking

Thank you pergammano for your effort to reply. I really observed in garlic plants that it take time for them to grow. Last year, all my garlic plants did not thrive because I did not water them regularly. I got tired of waiting before I harvest

well just give it a try.we did grow some ginger & red onions on a pot because there's no space for garden in our house. go on and we'll see what happen.
