Garlic is one of the easiest, and most rewarding crops you can grow. Fall planting sets the stage for a bountiful harvest next summer.
Here’s how to do it right:
-
Choose the right spot – Garlic loves full sun and well-drained soil.
-
Prep the soil – Loosen it up, mix in compost, and make sure it’s rich and crumbly.
-
Break the bulb – Separate cloves just before planting, keeping their papery skins on.
-
Plant deep – Place each clove pointy side up, 2–3 inches deep and about 6 inches apart.
-
Cover & mulch – Backfill with soil, then add a thick blanket of leaves or straw for winter protection.
👉 Plant in mid-to-late fall—before the ground freezes—and you’ll be harvesting big, flavourful bulbs by next summer!
