Garlic!

For thousands of years people have been using garlic as an ‘immune booster’ - to fight the bugs that make us sick. In ancient Greece, Olympic athletes ate garlic as a ‘performanc­e enhancer’. Will eating garlic help you run faster in a race? Maybe it’s worth a try! What scientists do know for sure is that garlic has loads of health benefits. It’s a power plant! Get some garlic planted before the shortest day and you will be harvesting your very own crop in summer.
