Garlic Bulbs For Planting Recipe

How to make it

---

• Order early. Plant in September for a June harvest.
• Dig a hole about 6 inches deep and 8 inches across.
• Fill the hole with a good planting mix. You want the ground soft for the roots to grow and more important for the clove to form a large bulb and start separating into cloves. Loose soil = larger bulbs.
• Use only the largest cloves for planting. Smaller cloves for cooking. The size of the clove determines the size of the finished plant.
• Plant the root end of the clove down.
• Plant the clove so it is covered with 2 inches of soil.
• If you have tilled the ground well enough, make holes ith your fingter or whatever 8 inches apart and 3 inches deep. Make all the holes first, then put a clove in each hole and cover with dirt
• Water.
• The clove will send up a small stalk and it can get as tall as 12 inches before it goes dormant for winter.
• In the spring it starts growing again.
• Keep and eye on the plant starting in late April.
• Once the hot weather comes on and the plant is getting near the final stage a stalk with a seed pod is sent up. Cut the stalk off! It robs the bulb of nutrients.
• Mulch around the plants to remain moist.
• When the stalks start to fall over it is time to check a plant to see if it has formed cloves. Don't pick to early.
• Once you have determined it is time to pick, dig up the whole plant and tie about 8 bulbs together and hang to dry.
• There you have the process and it will produce copious amounts of incredible garlic.
