Garlic should have been planted last fall for late summer harvest. There isn't enough time for it to grow for this year. Wait till Sept. and plant for next year.

kifr,

In the future, check with your state's Extension Service. Each county should have it's own Cooperative Extension Office which provides free publications and information for the asking. They will have valuable vegetable/gardening tables available specifically for your area determined by universities and horticultural research scientists who have collected data from growing those crops in your state. Your tax dollars are already paying for this service so you may as well get some use out of it.

Vegetable Planting and Planning Calendar for Missouri (download the pdf) complete with spring and fall planting dates (underneath the spring planting dates for appropriate crops), how much to plant per person, etc. They can also tell you the average last frost date for your area and ideal planting times for specific crops and varieties in your area.

See how detailed this example is:

Thanks for the info, I do remembering now that I read that. Now I guess I will only till my garden in the fall since the garlic will be in the ground already in the spring.

Let's be positive ... you're not too late, you're too early!

Actually, you'll want to till in late summer...

*wink*

Violet,

Thanks for the information, I tried to look at the Nebraska extension office and could not locate anything. I think that using the MO guide should work since I live in souteastern Nebraska so is close to what nothern MO is like. The problem with tilling in late summer I would like to do a fall crop of Broccoli. So will till in between when I plant the broccli and ending of the growing season. One last question how is the best way to get seeds from a Broccoli plant. I ultmatly want to be self sufficient with all my seeds.
