Garlic harvested in July.
July is the best time to harvest your garlic. AND, now is the best time to plant your garlic, between mid-September and early November, before the ground freezes. But, the sooner the better. You want the roots to develop before the ground freezes. If you wait until next spring, your bulbs will not be as large at harvest time (mid-July).
Growing garlic has never been easier. Planting is a breeze when you use either Garden Mat #1 or Garden Mat #9 with the premeasured holes
-
Mat #9 is ideal for garlic.
- Plant one garlic clove per hole, about 1 ½” deep, root side down. We grow 300+ bulbs of garlic a year and it generally takes about 60 minutes to plant. After that, there is virtually no weeding and nothing left to do. Just let them grow.
- We leave our garlic mats out 365 days a year. Granted, they will not last quite as long as the Garden Mats that we pull up at the end of the season and store for the winter. But, if left out year round our mats still last up to eight years (not bad) if you take care of them.
