Planting Garlic 2016

Planting garlic is easy. We set aside 20-30 of our largest garlic bulbs that were harvested in July to plant around Halloween. You can also get organic seed garlic from GrowOrganic.com.
When you are ready to plant:
  1. Break the cloves apart
  2. Cut rows into the soil with your trowel about 6 inches apart
  3. Place the cloves (pointy end up) about 4 inches apart
  4. Then cover them with about 1 inch of dirt

They’ll start sprouting through the winter, and you’ll harvest them next July!

Planting Garlic 2014

Today, we finally planted our garlic (about 250). We were about one week late, because we shoot for having garlic planted on Halloween. Planting is really a fast process: just make a row in the soil with a garden shovel and poke each clove in, right side up, spaced about 6-8″. I also space my rows about 6″ apart.
