How I did it: I ordered heirloom garlic and put it in the ground.  Apparently didn't water it enough, and it's nowhere to be seen.   Then, when I lucked out and got some free raspberry starts from someone who was digging up her entire raspberry patch to start over becasue the garlic went to seed in it (heaven forbid!), I took a lot of the garlic starts that she was throwing away.  I did some research, and turns out garlic and raspberries are considered good companion plants, so in they went together.  And did great.  Who knew?

Lessons & tips: Keep trying; ask someone who's done it for help with your failures.

Resources: Serendipitous freebies.  :)  Good karma
