How and when to plant winter garlic

The time for planting winter garlic depends on the region. Ideally, you should plant garlic 25 days before the first frost, so that it has time to take root, but does not begin to sprout.

The holes for winter garlic should be deeper than for spring garlic.

Insufficiently deep planting is one of the main reasons for poor winter garlic harvest.
