Zone 3-5: Plant garlic in late September to early October. Zones 5-7: Plant in mid to late October. Zones 7-9: Plant in late October into November. Zones 9-10: Plant from late October into December. Make sure to select garlic types (like softnecks) that need less cold vernalization to develop bulbs. USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, 2012.

2024年11月8日 · Garlic does best if it can experience a “dormancy” period of colder weather—at least 40˚F (4°C)—that lasts 4 to 8 weeks. When planted in the fall, garlic bulbs have time to develop healthy roots before temperatures drop and/or the ground freezes, but not enough time for the garlic to form top growth.

2024年12月26日 · In the coldest northern zones with subzero winters, garlic should be planted by late September. This gives the cloves time to anchor roots before the ground freezes over in October. Mulch heavily to protect from frost heaves. Mid-October is ideal, allowing 4-6 weeks before the ground freezes.

2023年11月5日 · You should plant garlic in the fall to give your garlic plants ample time to develop. When planted in the fall, roots will begin to grow before the plant goes dormant in the winter. A process called vernalization is key to garlic's development.

When to plant garlic depends on your location and type of garlic. Both softneck and hardneck garlic should ideally be planted in the fall, 3 to 6 weeks before your average first frost date. Softneck can also be planted in spring, as soon as the ground is workable (not frozen).

The best time to plant garlic in the home garden depends on your climate and the type of garlic you’re planting, but in general, garlic is best planted in the fall or early spring.

2024年5月18日 · To ensure a healthy harvest, it’s important to plant garlic at the right time and depth, with the right soil conditions. Here are 4 steps to get you started: Find out what season and temperature are best for your area. Choose a spot with full sun, proper drainage, and effective pest management.

2024年12月29日 · When to plant garlic thrives best in loose well-drained organic-rich soil. Find a sunny area within the location to average at least six hours of direct sunlight every day. Garlic prefers its soil to be between 6.0 and 7.5 pH levels, so you could test your soil about it.
