Planting your leftover store-bought garlic

SAN ANTONIO – Garlic is a kitchen staple, and it’s really annoying when you have to run to the store for just one clove, so let’s plant our own supply in our gardens!

In South Texas, you can plant garlic from October to December. October is usually ideal, but November works, too!

What’s excellent about garlic is you can plant the leftover cloves you bought from the grocery store. When you buy them from the store, buy the biggest bulbs and ensure the garlic is dry and still good.

Of course, you can buy native bulbs from a nursery or online, but re-using your grocery store garlic is sustainable, cheaper, and can grow just as well.

  • Peel back and break up the blub into individual cloves but keep the skin on.

  • Plant in a spot that gets

Each store is a fraction of the size of the Ikea you’re probably used to. While an

North Austin plant store Garden Seventeen to close June 30; relocation pending

North Central Austin plant store Garden Seventeen announced it will be officially closing doors June 30.

The store, located at 604 Williams St., Austin, has been providing Austinites with a wide selection of plants, gardening supplies and other goods for green thumbs since June 2020.

Co-owner Rodney Stoutenger said Garden Seventeen is closing due to several unexpected financial setbacks.

“Its felt like an uphill battle,” Stoutenger said.

Eight months into opening, Winter Storm Uri froze over dozens of plants at Garden Seventeen, leading to an over $100,000 loss in inventory. Then earlier this year, Garden Seventeen suffered a series of six break-ins, costing the store $65,000, Stoutenger said.

Historic storms and break-ins aside, Stoutenger said rising rent costs have priced Garden Seventeen out. The store’s rent was raised four times in the past three years, he said, most recently to about $30,000 a month.

Looking ahead, Stoutenger and co-owner Jake
