Some good basic information on the history of garlic, varieties and how to grow your own. I was disappointed that there were only a few recipes, most of which were not useful to me or required ingredients I’d have trouble locating.

What I learned: Apparently you can stick a whole clove of garlic in your vagina as a treatment for thrush. I'm glad I don't have a vagina.
