Master Gardeners—“It's Garlic Planting Time”, Roots

A world without garlic is hard to imagine. It enhances so many of our favorite cuisines with an aroma that conjures up so many wonderful food memories. Garlic (Allium sativum) is a member of the Amaryllis family, which also includes leeks, onions, and shallots. There are two main types of garlic—softneck, with numerous smaller cloves and hardneck, which produces a green stalk or “scape” in the spring with fewer but larger cloves. Elephant garlic, not technically true garlic, more closely related to the leek, has a bulb with very large, mild-flavored cloves. Garlic is easy to grow, even in small gardens, especially if compact varieties are planted. Generally, October through December is the perfect time to plant but it will depend on weather conditions. It is best to plant at least 2 weeks before the first frost to give your garlic a chance to get established before winter sets in.
