Growing tips
Garlic prefers deep, heavy soil without waterlogging in a sunny, open position. It grows best at mild temperatures (12-24°C), bulb formation is inhibited at temperatures above 30°C. Single toes or brood bulbs (bulblets) are planted. In the case of brood bulbs (summer as well as winter cultivation), a round garlic bulb develops in the first year. Simply replant this the following year to obtain garlic bulbs with many garlic cloves. Harvesting takes place as soon as the foliage has turned about 2/3 brownish.
