Planting Garlic NOW, for Spring Harvest

IMG_9164.JPG

Planting Garlic Cloves
I live in New England, East Coast, US, and we have longer, colder winters. We don't have mild seasons, like California, for instance, where the majority of US Grown Garlic is harvested. That white garlic, from Cali, is typically, softneck garlic. Softneck is both milder, and also, lasts on the shelves, longer. Commercial farmers LOVE that part!

Here in New England, with our deep cold winters, we plant and grow HardNeck Garlic. It has much more flavor, however lasts less on the shelves. If I am lucky, I can store my July harvested garlic, and use it over fall and winter. I can then, also, plant a few cloves, for growing into the next growing season.

In July, I pick garlic about once a week, for a few weeks, until it is ALL harvested.

Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

I've just planted some Russian red garlic to see how they do here on the south-west coast of Canada.

Cultivation is not easy, it requires patience and effort and you must always take care of it, both in the present and in the future 🙏
