He asked, “if garlic grows under ground, how come it’s so clean?” Darned if I know. Go.

Well, at least now we have conclusive proof that garlic does not grown on vines! By the way, tulip and daffodil bulbs are sent to me in clean shape. I never thought of this till now.

I've grown onions, garlic, and bulbs, and they come out of the ground dirty.

Anyway, it's clean dirt, you don't have to worry about it, just wash it off.

Is that supposed to be cute, or elicit a Eeewwww? It isn't, and it didn't.

Like everyone I know, I'm sure the OP's husband knows where eggs come from.

You would be surprised how many people don't know where their food comes from and how it looks before being processed.
There were surveys about it, pretty shocking outcome...
