  • Time to plant garlic?

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 10 14:38:53 2023
    Hi All,

    The first freeze will be this Wednesday night.

    Is it time to plant garlic yet?

    i just planted my patch yesterday. sometimes i plant
    earlier and other times later. no set schedule here
    other than trying to get them in the ground before the
    top layer freezes.

    my crop this season looked nice but the other day
    when i busted bulbs open to get cloves to plant there
    was a lot of problems so it took me a while to get
    enough decent cloves for planting.

    the rest we'll eat. :)

    We just planted 33 cloves ourselves.
