When do you plant garlic?

Question

When do you plant garlic?

Answer 1

Fall is the time to plant garlic in all but the coldest areas.  If you live in zone 3 or colder, garlic should be planted in the spring.

Everywhere else, plant it in the fall and harvest the next summer after the top 1/3 of the leaves have turned brown.

Answer 2

I've had luck with planting it pretty much anytime the ground isn't frozen.  It is a perennial, which means it will just grow bigger if you leave it alone.

What I do is to use the "seeds" as garlic, instead of digging up the whole plant.  That way it keeps coming back every year, and the roots gets larger and larger.

Answer 3

I'm getting ready to put in garlic in a couple of months. They always seem to do better when I start them in the Fall. I found this link that has some good info, hope it helps.
