Garlic

I want to try growing my own garlic this year and I'm wondering if it's too early to plant? A friend of mine says she plants hers in November, but I read an article I came across on Pinterest that said it can be planted as early as August? Has anyone planted garlic this early in the year?

I usually plant in September in zone 7 (DFW) and have been able to get fairly large bulbs. Regular fertilization seems to be the key to success, at least for me.

Thanks Dave, I'll hold off until Sept. and see how it goes. Like I said this will be the first time I've tried it.

Hey there, I'm in San Marcos and I plant mid-October every year. I've always had a good crop, except for 2007 when it rained and rained and rained and the garlic rotted.
