Planting garlic
In August, I harvested the two beds of garlic I planted last year.
The garlic has been sitting in a box on the back porch, waiting for planting. Periodically we’ll dip into it for some fresh garlic for cooking, but mostly it’s just been waiting for planting.
Last week, I finally got things done. First I had to prep the beds. I wanted to plant four beds instead of two this year, which meant weeding and raking things smooth.
This time of year, the oak that dominates this corner of the garden is stunning. There are worse things to do than prep garden beds under autumn foliage, y’know?
Prepping the beds didn’t take long. I raked off the summer’s straw mulch and put it aside, pulled a few weeks, raked the dirt smooth, and voilà.
Next I sorted the garlic.
I knew I could fit 100 cloves per bed, so I made four piles of 100 cloves each.
I laid out four rows of 25 cloves each. I later revised this to five rows of 20 cloves each, which fit better, but didn’t get a photo.
After each bed was planted, I mulched it with straw.
And that’s it, except for a little light weeding, until it’s time to harvest late next summer. That’s one of the things I enjoy about growing garlic: It’s almost maintenance-free and produces an abundant harvest.
What’s not to love?
