Planting & Growing Instructions
Garlic grows best in well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny location with at least six hours of sunlight per day. Follow these simple steps for successful growth:
-
Soil Preparation: Loosen the soil and enrich it with compost or organic matter.
-
Clove Separation: Gently separate the cloves from the bulb before planting. Each clove should be planted with the pointed end facing up.
-
Depth and Spacing: Plant each clove 1–2 inches deep, spaced 4–6 inches apart in rows that are 12 inches apart.
-
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
-
Zones: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 3–8, making garlic a hardy and dependable crop for many climates.
Garlic is easy to grow and perfect for raised beds, outdoor gardens, and even large pots.
Variety Options
-
Hardneck Garlic: Features a stiff central stalk, fewer but larger cloves, and a bold, complex flavor — ideal for roasting or gourmet dishes.
-
Softneck Garlic: Has a flexible stalk and multiple small cloves, with a milder taste and excellent storage life, commonly used for braiding and long-term keeping.
Harvest & Use
Garlic is typically ready to harvest in mid to late summer, once the lower leaves start to yellow and dry.
After harvesting, cure the bulbs by letting them dry in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area for two to three weeks.
Once cured, garlic can be stored for several months. Softneck varieties often last up to nine months under proper conditions.
Use your freshly harvested garlic in sauces, soups, marinades, or as a delicious seasoning in any savory dish.
