Planting Music Garlic
• Plant in the fall and you'll find that your bulbs are bigger and more flavorful when you harvest the next summer.
• Break apart cloves from bulb just before planting, but keep the papery husk on each individual clove.
• Plant cloves about one month before the ground freezes.
• Ensure soil is well-drained with plenty of organic matter. Select a sunny spot.
• Place cloves 4 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in their upright position (the wide root side facing down and pointed end facing up).
• In the spring, as warmer temperatures come, shoots will emerge through the ground.
Care
• Northern gardeners should mulch heavily with straw for overwintering.
• Mulch should be removed in the spring after the threat of frost has passed.
• Cut off any flower shoots that emerge in spring. These may decrease bulb size.
• W**ds should not be a problem until the spring. W**d as needed.
• Garlic requires adequate levels of nitrogen. Fertilize accordingly, especially if you see yellowing leaves.
• Water every 3 to 5 days during bulbing (mid-May through June).
• A note on garlic scapes: Some folks love cooking the scapes (the tops of hardneck garlic). Whether you trim the scapes or let them keep growing is your preference.
