Garlic is a fast Spring vegetable that Pierre only starts selling in the second year. It grows in a few days, so one plot can be replanted again and again through Spring. As a money crop it is modest, but it has some unusual uses. Ten Garlic make Oil of Garlic, a drink that keeps weaker monsters away. A ripe Garlic plant also solves the Gourmand Frog's puzzle on Ginger Island. Most villagers like Garlic, but Evelyn and Pierre hate it.
Growing
Garlic grows through four one-day stages and gives a single harvest. Replanting right after each harvest fits six harvests into one Spring.
Pierre's General Store sells Garlic Seeds in Spring from the second year onward. In the first year, the Traveling Cart can sometimes carry them. A Seed Maker turns harvested Garlic back into seeds.
Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession shorten the cycle further. Deluxe Fertilizer is the only way to grow iridium Garlic, which sells for more and restores more energy and health.
Garlic also grows in the Greenhouse and on Ginger Island in any season.
Prices
Garlic shares its quick cycle with Parsnip but earns a better margin per seed. It still sits in the lower half of Spring crops for profit per day. Cauliflower, Green Beans and Kale all earn more over a season.
The Tiller profession adds ten percent to the raw price.
As a vegetable, Garlic becomes Juice in a Keg or Pickles in a Preserves Jar. Pickles are worth more and finish faster. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to both.

Uses
Crafting ten Garlic with one Oil makes Oil of Garlic. The recipe unlocks at Combat level 6. Drinking it makes weaker monsters avoid the farmer for a while, which makes the upper floors of the mines much calmer. It also sells for a high price.
Cooking a Snail with Garlic makes Escargot. Willy mails the recipe at five hearts of friendship. It gives a long Fishing buff, which is handy before a hard catch.
Cooking Garlic with Oil and a Fiddlehead Fern makes Fiddlehead Risotto. The Queen of Sauce teaches it in the second year. The dish restores a lot of energy and health and sells well.
On Ginger Island, the Gourmand Frog in the cave asks to see three crops growing, one after another. Garlic is the third, after Melon and Wheat. The plant must be fully grown and left unharvested when the frog sees it. Quality makes no difference to the frog. Each finished request rewards five Golden Walnuts, and the Garlic can be harvested normally afterwards.
In tailoring, Garlic in the Sewing Machine makes a dyeable Shirt And Belt.

Gifts
Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, George, Gus, Harvey, Kent, Krobus, Leah, Leo, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Robin, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Willy and the Wizard like Garlic.
Abigail, Haley, Jas, Jodi, Sam and Vincent dislike it.
Evelyn and Pierre hate it. Garlic is one of the few common crops that Evelyn hates, so it is worth keeping out of gifts to her.
Notes
Plant a few rows of Garlic early in the second Spring and save at least ten. Oil of Garlic is far more useful than the raw crop.
Pierre's booth at the Feast of the Winter Star sometimes sells a single Garlic for a very high price. Growing it is far cheaper.
Keep one Garlic Seed in storage for the Gourmand Frog on Ginger Island. The island ignores the seasons, so the seed can be planted there at any time of year.
