I'm in the Albany area Gary, same as you. This is my 1st try at growing
garlic, having gotten some nice "seeds" at the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival
last Fall. I planted them last October and they are growing great so far.
Tell me, when do I harvest them??

73's, Bob

Anyone really interested in growing garlic should seriously consider
purchasing a book entitled Growing Great Garlic by Ron L. Engeland.

Ron's book is fine, though with a northwest accent, as that's where he is.
I got some varieties from his farm, and most did OK in my _very_ different
climate.

Shameless plug: On my personal page in the .sig below, you'll find very
basic garlic growing info, as well as pointers to some growers. If
there's
a garlic festival you can get to, that's best of all for local
information.
I've never found a garlic grower who wasn't happy to share information at
great length...
