What is the best season to plant garlic?

Which month is suitable for planting garlic?

Garlic likes to grow in a low temperature and humid environment. It is most suitable for planting when the temperature is around 17 degrees. Its cultivation depends on the local climatic conditions.

It is usually carried out in late September to early October in autumn. The climate, temperature and light in this season are very suitable for its growth. It can be planted in August in the warm areas in the south, or it can be planted in February to March in spring, but the survival rate is not as high as that planted in autumn.

Garlic Planting Methods

1. Seed selection

Garlic seeds for planting are generally selected with large roots and large sizes. The best are full garlic cloves. If you are planting on a large scale, you should choose garlic of normal size to ensure even growth after germination. Be sure to dry the selected garlic seeds in the sun for one to two days.

2. Planting

When planting garlic, you need to choose fertile, loose, well-drained soil, dig a 3-5 cm hole in the soil, plant the garlic cloves with the roots facing downwards, and keep the distance between the garlic cloves at 15 cm. Do not plant them too densely.

3. Maintenance

After covering the soil, water the pot abundantly until the water overflows. Then move the pot to a shady place and the seeds will germinate in 2 to 3 days. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight.

Garlic planting points

1. Garlic requires a lot of water to grow. Since the roots have a weak ability to absorb water, the soil should be kept moist during the seedling period and watered once every morning or evening.

2. After the garlic sprouts and grows to 10 cm, pull out the slowly developing sprouts to keep the garlic adequately nourished.
