growing garlic bulbels

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I was given some garlic bulbels today, some this will be 2nd year, the others from this past falls harvest. They told me I should plant them asap for them to survive, but I wondered would it be okay to put them in the fridge or unheated garage and plant them in March. My thought is that they probably won't be doing any growing during these winter months so would it be any advantage to planting them now if I keep them cold? I don't have a garden spot ready for them yet and was hoping not to temperarily plant them in planters until spring. I am in Kansas, zone 6

QUESTION: I was wondering if you kept them cold ( where ? ) or what you did with your garlic bulbils from this past January.

I have always planted mine in Sept with 6" of old Orchard Grass for mulch and they survive the harsh winters here in WIs. zone 3

I'm zone 6. SW PA. I plant mine in the beginning of October. No mulch. Yes they need to be planted in the fall. They develop during the winter. Garlic is easy to grow. Its pretty much plop in the ground and let it do its thing until July harvest. One year I didn't have a spot for them yet so I just planted them in my flower bed. As long as they have sun they will grow.
