Planting Garlic NOW, for Spring Harvest
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.

I've just planted some Russian red garlic to see how they do here on the south-west coast of Canada.
Wow! I never plant garlic but now I am inspired 😄
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 🙏
In Venezuela there is no good food if it is not seasoned with garlic hahaha. Congratulations!
Good luck.
Nice informative post. We are on a short vacation but got our garlic in the ground before we left.
