Typically planted in the fall about two weeks after the first frost date, garlic is easy to grow in your home garden. Follow these tips for planting, care and harvest and you’ll have plenty of flavorful, homegrown garlic to use in your favorite dishes come summertime.
Care
A protective layer of straw or chopped leaves will protect the crop throughout winter. In the spring, stalks known as scapes will appear. Snap them off, but save them for cooking – they are similar to green onions with a more garlicky flavor. Keep the planting site well weeded and watered in late spring.
