Garlic time! ~ Southwestern Deserts
Just a reminder to those of us in the Southwestern Deserts - with the "cold snap" we're experiencing, now is the time to make sure your garlic is in the ground! These chilly overnights will get those cloves g(r)oing, and you should expect a harvest in about 6-8 months.
If you haven't bought garlic yet from the various online sources or local nurseries, you can always plant a supermarket favorite and cross your fingers! I've had many a clove of store-bought garlic sprout in the fridge after being ignored too long.
If you're like me, you can follow the old adage of "plant on the shortest day of the year, harvest on the longest day of the year", or even wait to January 1, just to make tracking your grow time easier.
Cheers!

I think my sunflower plant can take me in a fair fight...it's taller than me, and it keeps giving me dirty looks.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: Garlic time! ~ Southwestern Deserts
BC and I have the same climate. I've planted most of mine. But, I still have a few more to plant in the smaller bed DH and I moved. It's finally cleaned of the corn roots and amended.
Re: Garlic time! ~ Southwestern Deserts
I'll be planting in nine days, on the shortest day of the year. Right now it's really wet out, and I don't want the cloves to rot.

I should have written this yesterday, but just a reminder to get that garlic in the ground if you haven't already, desert gardeners!

Re: Garlic time! ~ Southwestern Deserts
I got a square planted on the 20th and will get another today. The garlic is from the braided summer harvest of grocery store garlic.
