Garlic: vampires, werewolves and now, H1N1

Garlic is a popular remedy for what ails you in Serbia, and now the open-air markets are the scene of panic buying as people purchase it to prevent swine flu.

The price of cloves has skyrocketed in the country, and public places have begun to smell powerfully of garlic as people munch them like, well, mints.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
