When to plant garlic?

Plant garlic in February, March, October and November.

When to harvest garlic?

Harvest garlic from June to August.

The tips that matter

  • Plant the biggest cloves from the outside of the bulb — they produce the finest heads.
  • In heavy soil, plant on a small ridge: garlic fears standing moisture more than cold.
  • Bend the leaves over in late June to speed up the ripening of the bulbs.
