Easy guide to growing garlic at home (even in a pot) and harvesting the best flavor for your dishes

Meteored Portugal3 September 2026 at 09:05

This article presents a practical guide for growing garlic at home, whether in pots on the balcony or in the garden. The text explains that a standard pot is sufficient to grow several garlic plants, even in the city center, and that the entire process can be done using only materials available in the kitchen. Garlic is described as the "undisputed king of the pantry," capable of adding personality to almost any dish and, due to its strong aroma, helping to keep garden pests away.

The article highlights that all that is needed for successful cultivation is a pot on the balcony or a sunny spot near a window. The guide covers three easy ways to plant garlic, care for the shoots, and grow large and flavorful bulbs.

Regarding the choice of raw material, the text warns that not all garlic is the same. It recommends using organic garlic heads or those purchased at local producer markets, rather than commercial garlic, although the explanation for why this choice is preferred remains incomplete in the article.

To this day, there is no evidence that life formed in Space

There is still no evidence that life formed in Space, even though the basic ingredients — such as amino acids, sugars and nucleic acid bases — have already been found in meteorites and asteroid samples. Laboratory experiments show that more complex molecules can also form under space-like conditions, which fuels the hypothesis that essential components of life may have been produced outside Earth and then transported here. However, according to Philip Ball in an article in Chemistry World, these results are far from proving that terrestrial life began in this way.
