Suddenly have an urge to grow garlic.

Soil is well drained and loamy, has 3/4 day sun.
That's good. Give em some rotted cow manure, fish emulsion, organic
matter if you want strong plants.


Plant from sets?

That will work. I took apart a corm and planted each toe.

What time of year?
Not sure. Mine continue to come up Jan-June year after year then die
back in the summer heat (e.TN). In Ohio they grew more prolific,
liking a cooler climate. Yours should do well in a cool sunny
location.

Thanks.
