Did Someone Say Garlic?

10 years ago

With the warm weather around here I'm already getting ready for spring planting so most of the garlic is coming out now. Onions will follow in a couple of more weeks. Yippy!

Berkeleydirt: You know, I really don't know. It was probably around that time also. Maybe a little earlier.

Beautiful! I usually just plant cloves that are sprouting and wait till they die to dig them up. I have one huge plant growing now.

Our last home had a HOA and I would hang my garlic to dry on the Bougainvillaea, and those gardeners would steal it. Every time! :-((

No more HOA's for me!

Okay, I'm putting it my calendar for 12/21---I usually think to plant garlic in spring but find that's too late. But my green onions are coming up now.
