One of my lessons learned from last year is that Garlic needs to be planted in the fall to achieve the best growth possible. My late planted garlic had mediocre growth due to their lack of winter exposure. Purchased LEGAL garlic from Tubbs Berry Farm and Garlic Gods. Yep, legal. As in, taking store bought garlic and sticking it in the ground is Illegal in parts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho! Excited to see how these garlic do!
