Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Separate the garlic bulbs into individual cloves, keeping the papery husk intact.

Select the largest, healthiest cloves for planting.

Sowing:

Plant cloves 1-2 inches deep with the pointed end up.

Space cloves 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

For best results, plant in the fall, 4-6 weeks before the ground freezes, or in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked.

Germination:

Garlic does not germinate like typical seeds; instead, the cloves will sprout and develop roots.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season.

Transplanting:

Not applicable, as garlic is typically planted directly in its final growing location.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Monitor for pests and diseases, removing any affected plants promptly.

Harvest when the lower leaves turn brown, typically in late spring or early summer.

Carefully dig up the bulbs and allow them to cure in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storing.
