Cultural
information: "Garlic" plants can be started either
from seed or bulbs purchased at your local Garden Center.
With our short growing season we recommend starting your Allium plants
from bulbs. The bulbs are quite cold hardy and can be planted
before your other garden crops. Plant the Allium cloves 6" apart and
2" deep.
Once the Allium plants begin to flower cut the flower stalks back
in early summer to promote
bulb growth.
Uses: Aromatic, Craft, Culinary,
and Medicinal

Harvesting & Storage: Late
summer flatten the Allium foliage and stop watering your plants. Wait one
week then pull the cloves. They may be used fresh or dried.
Store fresh cloves in the refrigerator. Dried cloves may be stored
in the open air or in a container.
