You can boil it up and use the garlic water as a deterrent for moles, ground squirrels and other undesirable critters in your garden. Works best if you add some hot peppers to the pot.
I have started a garlic and lemon grass boundary border around my garden to keep out squirrels.
Also there is a wonderful Korean dish that uses young garlic, and it can be added to kimchi.

I have more garlic growing in my garden than I can use or give away. I clean it, put the garlic in a food processor and add olive oil. Process it, transfer to a wide mouth canning jar and store it in the refrigerator. As I use the garlic, I add more olive oil. Sometimes I use the garlic and oil, other times just the oil. What I am going to do next is process the garlic and add water. Divide this into an ice cube tray and store it in freezer. I got the idea of freezing the excess garlic from my ister in Texas who chops and freezes excess onions.
Hi,
Can you send me some ? I m looking for fresh garlic here in southern California everywhere but can't find it, we love fresh garlic !!!
We use that in omelets, fritters, pasta sauce, samosas, beef patties, etc ❤️
Hi Shaun, Rather than send you some of the garlic growing in my yard (which would probably not survive the mailing process), do what I did. I purchased fresh garlic at my local supermarket, planted it and forgot about it. Let it overwinter, it will grow, divide and spread.
