Of course, you need to know the best times for planting and harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Growing-Great-Garlic-Definitive-Gardeners\/dp\/0963085018\/?tag=theownebuilne-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/gardens.theownerbuildernetwork.co\/files\/2023\/07\/Growing-Great-Garlic.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theownerbuildernetwork.co\/gardens\/files\/2023\/07\/Growing-Great-Garlic.png 1000w, https:\/\/theownerbuildernetwork.co\/gardens\/files\/2023\/07\/Growing-Great-Garlic-768x473.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to have a large garden to grow your own garlic.

Your choice will ultimately depend on where you live \u2013 the climate, specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gardening experts say it\u2019s best to plant garlic halfway through the fall season. Plant them on loose, fertile soil. Make sure the area is free from weeds. They\u2019ll soon start to grow roots. By late spring or early summer, you can start harvesting. Before storing them, remember to cure and clean them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy planting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Good soil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic cloves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tools:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Garden trowel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on any image to start the lightbox display.
