Plant it now.

Nothing touches it, at least when I grow it.

It's worth growing. It's cheap to buy the bulbs, you get a zillion from one because each clove makes a new bulb. You can get really pungent varieties too, which I like.

Virtually all garlic in stores is from China, believe it or not.

Garlic is a zone 0 plant. It grows whenever the ground isn't frozen.

I grow garlic and it's great. I make sure to get the cloves planted by thanksgiving. I plant the hard necked garlic variety. I don't understand why the stores all sell the stuff from China. This is a crop that grows great here. I've never had any pest at all and it doesn't take up much space either.

I grew it for the first time last year. We got a good crop from what we planted. We bought the stock from Richter's Herbs. They carry a nice variety. Years ago I watched a show about garlic and the guy said the only pest he ever had was groundhogs. He now puts chicken wire on the bottom of his raised beds. Marg

Well that settles it then.

I just called Botanus and they've added Music Hardneck and Legacy Rocambole Hardneck to my order =:)

I was going to call SaltSpring Island Seeds, as I understand they have good garlic, but I've never ordered from them before, so I just added to my Botanus order.

Thanks fellow Gardenwebers =:D
