@drdawg , Ken -- what do you do in terms of fertilizing your garlic? And what would you think of the idea of interplanting leaf lettuce with garlic?
The small amount of garlic that I planted inside my hoop house is coming up so nicely (while that in the outer garden is lagging way behind) that I'm contemplating planting all my garlic in the HH this fall -- depending, of course, on how it actually does compared to the outside stuff. But if I do that, I'd like to interplant it with a few leafy greens, lettuce, corn salad, and the like; those plants should be harvested and gone long before the garlic is ready to pull, and would be pretty much utilizing a different root zone, so I think it should work out okay. At any rate, it wouldn't be the entire planting of garlic that I would be interplanting.
