Garlic

Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion genus, Allium.

Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and rakkyo. With a history of human use of over 7,000 years, garlic is native to central Asia, and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Description

Allium sativum is a bulbous plant. It grows up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in height. Its hardiness is USDA Zone 8. It produces hermaphrodite flowers. Pollination occurs by bees and other insects.

Origin and major types

Allium sativum grows in the wild in areas where it has become naturalized. The "wild garlic", "crow garlic", and "field garlic" of Britain are members of the species Allium ursinum, Allium vineale, and Allium oleraceum, respectively. Identification of the wild progenitor for common garlic is made difficult by the sterility of its many cultivars which may all be descended from the species, Allium longicuspis, growing wild in central and southwestern Asia.

    Garlic

    by: Black Happy

    Garlic makes my feet stink, yeah!
    I got a line from a good friend
    You call him weird, I call him soul
    He told me what has been going on
    Things are getting tough and we gotta go.
    The time has come to get serious 'bout
    The face of all that we see
    I told him this.. I said "Hey soul!
    Start listening to me!" I told him,
    "Dog... you... smell like fish..."
    Garlic makes my feet stink.
    He got my point, we had a good laugh
    We laughed until my belly hurt
    I'm not the savior, and I will never be
    But that don't change my worth
    He started moving, he started circling
    I heard him whisper in my face
    "One on one," he said, "That is the only way,
    You and I will change this place." He told me,
    "Dog... you... smell like fish."
    Garlic makes my feet stink.
    (a little bass... a little drums... a little percussion...)
    Horns!! (a bunch o' times)
    My favorite color may be brown,
    My favorite color may be black,
    My favorite color may have nothing to do with it
    I think the problem's exorcised,
    I think the problem's compromised,
    He showed me all that's wrong with me...
    Our parents made some big mistakes,
    Our parents really screwed this place,
    And now the cleaning's left to us.
    We are the ones who have to scrape,
    We are the ones who have to make...
    A change for the better...!
    I'm still reading tilt, mama...
