When should i plant garlic?
Garlic - Fall
October is the month to plant garlic in colder climates. The seeds are the individual cloves of the garlic, which are planted - growing tip up - 2" to 3" beneath the soil. A winter mulch is recommended where the winters are severe. In early spring, a well balanced fertilizer is spread around the plants and the area should be kept weed free. When the plant sends up a flowering shoot, this must be clipped in order for the plant to produce a large head of garlic. In most instances the crop is ready to be harvested and dried by the middle to end of July.
