Time to start planning your garlic plantings! I LOVE garlic, and there are so many different varieties out there. With
a little planning, you can have garlic all year from a spring harvest. Here are some things to ask yourself when trying to
choose.
How much garlic do I use a week?
Do I like a strong/hot garlic, or a mild
one?
Is my micro-climate in my yard warmer than zone 5 or pretty typical?
Will I need to store my garlic
for months at a time?
How will the garlic be stored?
Will the space that the garlic is planted
in be needed for other garden plants before June?
There are many reputable places to get an array
of garlic online. They should be able to tell you details about the different varieties they offer. You can even try
planting the garlic from the supermarket. I tried that last year. The heads were not as large as the market one I purchased,
but the flavor was at least as good or better.
