Northeast garlic planting time and key points

1. Planting time

Northeast garlic likes to grow in a cool environment. The climate in the south is relatively warm and the temperature is relatively high. The appropriate time is August to September in autumn. The temperature in the north is relatively low, so it is not suitable for autumn sowing. The appropriate time is March to April in spring.

2. Choose garlic

Before planting Northeast garlic, you should choose a good quality variety and pick garlic cloves that are plump and undamaged. Remove the old skin on the outside and the stem disk underneath. Then soak them in clean water for 3-5 minutes, take them out and dry them.

3. Notes

Garlic is suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Plant the selected garlic, cover it with a layer of fine soil, and gently compact the soil next to it. Water it thoroughly after planting. Water it every day before seedlings emerge, and pay attention to fertilization in the later stage.
