  • A single clove, 2-3 inches with pointed side up around Oct. 31st and as late as Winter solstice (it needs a certain amount of cold hours to vernalize). Garlic likes well-draining soil, rocks are fine and in fact desired, plenty of sunshine and some potassium. If it’s too wet, moist, and shady it will mold. Best to water them to help roots set before the first snow arrives. A mulch cover is a good idea to keep them snug. When spring hits, remove any weeds. Garlic does not like any competition. Water if hot and no rain. Keep watered but not too much. It is a drought plant. Drip irrigation works well. Harvest around Summer Solstice. If a hardneck variety then snip the curly scape for eating and leave one garlic scape witch so when it erects straight to the sky the garlic is ready to harvest. If a softneck variety then when 3 to 4 leaves turn yellow and wither is time to harvest. Cure out of the sun until dry in a fan-dried area for 10-14 days depending on humidity. Garlic should be stored in an open basket, dark and cool with air. Do not seal, or refrigerate. Can be frozen for eating over the winter months. But fresh raw garlic is medicinally strongest. Low heat not above 125 is best when dehydrating.

    A miracle plant indeed. Mixed with raw honey exponentially increases medicinal power.
