Garlic bulbs at Suttons Seeds.
It is apparently traditional to plant garlic on the shortest day of the year!
It needs a sunny well drained area in your garden. Each clove produces a bulb. When your garlic bulbs arrive break them gently into cloves. Do not get confused and plant the whole bulbs!
Plant them an inch deep, 4 inches apart and in rows of 18 inches apart. This ensures you’ve got plenty of room for hoeing in between the rows. Keep the rows weed free as you would for onions. The weeds take up the water which the plants need.
When harvesting it needs to be dried properly to prevent it rotting during storage.
