why did planting garlic in my backyard make me feel like a wizard?

Last fall, I tucked a few garlic cloves into the dirt, not expecting much. Fast forward to spring, and I’m literally pulling up magic. Each bulb was bigger than my fist! The secret? I mulched with straw and barely watered once winter hit. Garlic loves to be left alone—who knew? Watching those green shoots push through the snow made me weirdly proud. It’s wild how something so simple can boost your mood. Plus, nothing beats tossing homegrown garlic into dinner. If you’ve got a patch of dirt, give it a shot. You might end up feeling like a gardening wizard too. #gardening #garlic #homegrown
