Time to plant Garlic!
The hardest part about planting garlic is picking a place to put in next years garlic, oh and also finding a day that its not pouring down rain and not too cold that you can stand to be outside planting.
Garlic is a bulb and is planted in the fall. These will start to grow in the spring and should be watered and fertilized then. Decrease watering as it nears time to harvest so that your not promoting mold or bulb discoloration. I usually harvest when there are least 3 to 4 green leaves left and them. But heck more on harvesting and storing next year when these are up.
I also planted some multiplier onions today in the same spot.
First picking the spot, tougher then it seems as spring is around the corner and lots of seeds will be going in. I try not to plant the same thing in the same spot every year so I chose just outside the herb bed this time. I had to pull out the rest of the beets to get the spot ready. I also planted the onions right up to and under the brussels sprouts. But long before the onions are up the brussels sprouts will have been harvested and eaten. I’ve never ended up moving my garlic but I have wished I had put it elsewhere. This should be a great place next to the herbs and leeks.
The spot, cleaned out ready to plant.
Don’t separate the garlic until just before planting.
Plant with root side down.
Space them out 4 to 6 inches apart.
They only are planted 1-2 inches in so I just
made a hole with my finger.
Then just cover them up. I didn’t even water
them since its going to rain tonight.Same process for the multiplier onions:
The onions should be 6 inches apart.
When you cover them up the tip should be
about level with the surface of the soil.
