Well, it's not really a First-World Problem as much as a "I can't grow anything worth a damn and will kill most plants without any effort at all" sort of problem.
The First-World Problem is that I forgot to plant garlic in the fall, so now I have to play catch-up. Not that I have ever done it before, or have any possibility of actually growing garlic for culinary use. But for a number of reasons I have been using more garlic in cooking, and a surprising amount of it is over the hill. Stores seem not to be able to stock garlic that isn't long in the tooth, drying out, sprouting, or even rotting.
I will have to resort to better quality stuff available from high-end internet purveyors, and that disturbs my basic sense of frugality, but buying a head of garlic in which there is significant decay makes me want to say bad things about the produce manager!
