Grow your own garlic: 
                                    Order garlic bulbs from specialty nurseries. In the South, best results if planted in February or March. To plant, break open bulbs, separate cloves and peel away papery layers of skin.  Plant cloves tip up, 4 or 5 inches apart and 2-4 inches deep.

11 Corinthians 4:17,18
                                      For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
