Growing Instructions

  • Garlic is a winter crop. Plant after the first good frost in the fall.

    For northern regions this is mid-October.

    For the mid-west and upper south, plant early November.

    Deep south growers and California growers may plant as late as January or February.

  • Look out for these 3 things:

    1. The garlic will be in the ground until early summer, so pick a spot you will not need for spring gardening.

    2. Soil must be well drained if you have wet winters or springs. Raised beds or rows are wonderful for garlic.

    3. There must be enough nutrients to feed the garlic through its long growing season. Garlic is hardy, but optimum bulb size is achieved through a good, rich soil. We mix in composted animal manure and top off with some compost or super soil.

    1. Separate the garlic bulb into cloves. Do this as close to planting time as possible as they will begin to soften quickly after separating.

    2. Plant each clove pointy side UP, 2"-6" deep (the further north you are, the deeper you plant).

    3. Space 5" apart, with 8"-10" between rows.
