How many roses come from one seed?
they grow in 1 month to hatch the seed and 5 months to be completely grown.
by your friend saul haha :)
Yes, you can. The problem with this is as it freezes, the liquid inside the cells will rupture the cell membranes and when you thaw it out again, you wind up with an onion flavored mush. The best thing to do is stew them till they are "broke down" and freeze the onions, stew and all.
Vegetables that are similar in cellular structure like peppers, celery and leafy greens such as collards, spinach, turnip greens and kale will not hold up to being frozen as the same thing will happen.

It depends which country you are in and how good the garlic scapes are, and also how popular they are in your region.

Does honey and onions increase sperm count?
Yes Onions do increase the sexuallity of a man. Usuallyit increase the sperm count hence the desire to increase the duration too.
Yes but its not so easy to get them. The varieties we grow have been selected for bigger and better garlic bulbs which compete with the seed formation for nutrients. To get the garlic to form seeds you need to suppress garlic bulb formation.
The seeds also compete against what are called bulbils. The garlic plants sends up a head of flowers and bulbils (depending on the type of garlic), the bulbils are tiny cloves that grow on the garlic scape (where the flowers grow). If the bulbils are allowed to grow they swell up and they kill off the flowers. The seeds would come from the flowers that get properly pollinated, but if the bulbils squeeze them out they just die and never open up enough to get pollinated. So yes, garlic can have seeds, but due to the way we've grow them, they no longer have seeds naturally (at least not the ones we grow for food).
Chopped garlic is garlic cloves that have been peeled and chopped.

Is garlic annual or a perennial?
Not sure what you are asking, but garlic is planted, preferably in the fall, by breaking the bulb into separate cloves. Use only the 4-6 largest cloves, don't bother planting smaller ones. It will probably come up just before hard winter sets in - that's normal, mulch it through the winter. Come spring, remove the mulch, fertilize it once, and let nature do the rest. Keep it weeded. It is ready to harvest when the leaves start turning yellow rapidly and fall over, anywhere from early to mid July. Let the bulbs - leaves and all - dry in a sheltered place for 2-3 weeks. Trim the leaves and roots, and it's ready to use. Softneck garlic (typical "supermarket" garlic) will keep up to a year if well dried. Hardneck garlics ("gourmet" garlic) only keeps 2-3 months.
