Who doesn't like garlic? Well, okay...a lot of people. But for those of us who hold a big place in our palate for this alabaster allium, "more garlic" is a familiar desire. So today's Growing on the High Plains will continue to peel back the shell on the allure of "the stinking rose" with part two of the series.

We'll hear about growing, curing, and planning for planting this crop. Plus, we'll inspect the nuance of neck strength and curious characteristics of cloves.  Plus, tune in and listen to my offer for a free garlic braid tutorial.  Hear the full episode below.

Years ago Skip Mancini left the rocky coast of Northern California to return to her roots in the heartland. Her San Francisco friends, concerned over her decision to live in a desolate flatland best known for a Hollywood tornado, were afraid she would wither and die on the vine. With pioneer spirit, Skip planted a garden. She began to learn about growing not only flowers and vegetables, but hearts and minds. If you agree that the prairie is a special place, we think you'll enjoy her weekly sojourns into Growing on the High Plains.
