if you're growing indoors, it's pretty easy to force garlic to grow out of season. really, it comes down to making sure it has adequate light, which if you're in a terribly cave-like apartment, means a grow light with a timer. Garlic was among the easiest things to force when I was first starting out with my apartment's living wall- sharing that space with salad greens and herbs.
As a side note, if you only have one pot, you can also grow them along side some other fresh herbs like thym and rosemarry. (depending on the pot, it might get a little too crowded for big leafy things like parsely and cilantro/coriander)
Cool, thanks! I have some plants that I brought indoors that are under a grow light. I can try putting some garlic in a pot and see how it goes.
heh. no worries. For the record, the living wall was the best thing I did with my apartment when I was still living in one. Something about the fresh herbs, the leafy greens, and the constant supply of actually-good tomatoes.
other good plants, if you want to get your plant-parent on, include things like strawberries and small cucumbers, peppers. The caveat with those is you're likely to have to pollinate manually. Living walls are fun way to get fresh food and get some greenery inside.
