Best Time to Plant

For the biggest harvests, plant garlic in the fall—typically September through October—so roots can develop before winter. Use our What Is My Growing Zone guide to choose varieties suited to your climate. Fall planting sets up strong growth for harvesting garlic in late spring or summer.

Planting & Growing Garlic

• Site & Soil – Choose well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Garlic is easy to grow when planted in loose, fertile ground.
• Cloves to Bulbs – Break each bulb into individual cloves, planting each clove 2–3 inches deep and 6 inches apart with the pointed end up. Each clove grows into a full bulb by harvest.
• Spacing & Water – Keep rows 12 inches apart and water regularly until the ground freezes.

Caring for Garlic Plants

During the growing season, keep weeds down and soil evenly moist to support strong garlic plants. Fertilize lightly if growth slows. As bulbs mature, reduce watering to encourage the wrappers to dry and tighten. This helps create firm bulbs that store well after harvest.

Harvesting & Storing Garlic

When the lower leaves brown but a few green leaves remain, it’s time for harvesting garlic. Gently lift bulbs with a garden fork—avoid pulling by the tops. Cure your garlic by hanging it in a cool dry and ventilated area for 3–4 weeks. Proper curing allows garlic grown in your garden to store for months and maintain full flavor.

Hardneck vs. Softneck Varieties

• Hardneck varieties such as German White and Russian Red thrive in colder regions, producing scapes and large cloves that are easy to peel.
• Softneck garlic stores longer and often produces more individual cloves, making it a favorite for braiding and long-term storage.

Tips for a Successful Garlic Crop

• Start with quality seed garlic for sale—not garlic from the grocery store, which may carry disease or be treated to prevent sprouting.
• Rotate crops yearly to keep seed stock healthy and ensure vigorous garlic growing from one season to the next.
• Fertilize and weed regularly so your garlic plants produce big, flavorful bulbs.
