I placed my garlic order the last week of September, a 1/2 pound of German White hardneck garlic, which arrived in Friday's USPS mail - perfect timing!
After taking a year off from planting garlic, I was back at it yesterday and planted 23 cloves in three rows. Nice BIG and tasty looking cloves too!
They came in this nice bag with tag; (4) BIG bulbs -
Three neat piles after breaking the bulbs into cloves -
Turn and prepped the beg. Then, I dug my three rows and placed a stake at each end -
Placed the cloves evenly apart, right side up -
And covered with soil -
The next time I mow the grass, I'll spread a nice layer on top of the soil to offer some protection from the elements and coming cold and snow.
It's a waiting game now and already looking forward to July-ish when I can harvest and start cooking with!
