My goodness gracious, are people so woefully ignorent about planting and maintaining a garlic patch that they need someone give them a crash course? I grew up in a neighborhood that was predominately Italian and every family grew garlic. Shoot, it's not rocket science. The next thing we'll see announced is a course on how to pin dipers on babies.

Many inner city folks don't know how to properly raise vegetables.  Some even have a hard time identifying vegetables in their whole form.  I recently witnessed a woman ask a question about an apple......she was pointing to a red tomato.

Unbelievable.
From a young lass back home, I helped my Father and Grandmother in their garden and apple orchard, as well as her raspberry bushes, and would help my Aunt in her vineyard in exchange for a homemade grape jelly and peanut butter sandwich.
I wasn't a country lass by any means but back then we all pitched in with the chores, and this was true with all the families in our neighborhood.
