Planting and Application:
Garlic is best planted in the fall at the same time you are planting spring-flowering bulbs Break the bulbs into individual cloves and plant them about 4-6 inches apart, root side down and pointed side up. You can eat the green shoots that emerge in spring and even any flower shoots - called scapes! These add flavor and color to your spring and summer dishes.
Mature for harvest in a single season, once the green leaves turn yellow and die down, that is the time to harvest. Use in any culinary recipe you can imagine, cooked, roasted, fresh or dried and ground into your own garlic powder!
