Garlic & Fall Onions

The allicin content in garlic supports normal cholesterol levels, enhances circulation and boosts the immune system. The largest bulbs (also referred to as heads) are produced from fall planting, but a heavy mulch is necessary in cold areas to prevent frost heaving. Harvest fall planted garlic the following summer, leaving any small bulbs to grow for another year. Garlic can take 2 to 3 seasons of growing and replanting before cloves become fully acclimated to your growing conditions. For softneck types, 6 heads will plant about 25 feet of row. For hardneck types, 6 heads will plant about 10-15 feet. Separate garlic into cloves just before planting.
