Your presentation on growing garlic was my first experience with your teachings and it's clear that you are destined to spread this information to the masses! Coming from someone who's just getting started, thank you very much for boiling the information down to an easy-to-follow guide. I have one more crop I feel confident to grow! I use garlic nearly every single day when cooking, so this was an important one to me! - Gus ""Laura does a great job with teaching you about gardening and get you involved in the class.
