Time to Plant Garlic

Hi all,

Time to plant garlic…actually a little pass time.  I planted this garlic October 16th.  I planted five bulbs.  The garlic planted was grown by me and harvested 29 bulbs in July.

You want to plant the biggest bulbs, biggest cloves. I plant soft neck so there is no scape. Each of my hard neck garlic bulbs had 10 cloves so I planted 50 cloves 4-5 inches apart, 2 inches deep. I put the screen over it just to keep out cats, dogs, and people from tramping it down.

They should emerge in March…when I will be the happiest gal on the block!

Happy gardening!
