When is it too late to plant garlic
How Late is Too Late to Plant Garlic?
today we're gonna look again at garlic
and planting it out
[Music]
one question we might ask is how late is
too late to plant garlic I think we are
still ok but as you know there's already
snow on the ground we've already had
some hard freezes so we'll have to clear
out the snow and some of the weeds that
have grown here and then we'll plant it
one thing to observe is that the soil is
still workable we don't have a hard
freeze that has taken the soil to a
point that's not being workable which is
very important to what we're doing
yep see bone you know it's gonna break
it apart we'll kind of use this notch as
our watermark we want to plant this
probably about two inches deep this soil
is all moist and wet and pretty easy to
work down more or less you want your
garlic to be oh they say six inches but
you do pretty well even at around three
depending how big you're wanting your
garlic to get you might want the extra
space you do want to plant these not
right on the surface but down a couple
inches just to prevent them from
ultimately freezing so garlic is
actually going to grow its roots over
the winter and then it will continue to
grow into the spring intelligence of
actually having a nice bulb on it as
you've seen previously there will be a
nice escape that develops that you could
cut off and use for various recipes but
ultimately we're going after that big
bulb and it grows over the winter as
long as you get it in early enough that
the grounds not frozen solid
and your planet you do want to plant so
the pointy end ends up up bring it up
I do also have a few saved rounds and
these actually were saved not from this
season but from the season before so
we'll see how they do it is advisable to
lightly mulch and here I'm going to use
some kind of decomposed partially
decomposed use as my mulch the mulch
helps to protect the garlic from
critters that might dig it up and also
from the cold which is the most
important it keeps it a little bit more
depth and the garlic will shoot right
through that most without a problem
