I have a small space and grow a lot there.
So I some times share the same area's.

Since my garlic is already in, it will be ready to pick in June I think?

Anyone have good experience with a companion crop to Garlic?

I always interplant my garlic. Collard and mache were not very
appropriate (too competitive). I had best results with lettuce and
radicchio.

I read where Roses like to have garlic grown around them. Your roses are
usually permanent, and so should be your garlic. That way you harvest what
you need and leave the rest to the following year. I know a man who does
this with a 30 ft long row. He never has to replant and he never goes
without fresh garlic.

I grow my garlic between two rows of asparagus. The asaparagus gets big
about the time I have finished harvesting the garlic.

I have seen tomatoes listed as an interplanting crop. I'm going to be
trying it this summer ... otherwise I will have to drop garlic from the
menu because 'tomatoes aren't optional'.

I'll let the list know how it went.

????? I generally plant garlic just about anywhere I have a bug problem.

Never had a problem with compatibility as long as the soil and light
requirements are similar. :-)

Creeping pennyroyal worked well in the flower beds.

My garlic is planted right beside my tomatoes. No problem.

I would worry just a bit, since both tomatoes and garlic are heavy feeders;
I grow it in a bed and the outside bulbs are always a bit bigger. And
garlic doesn't compete very well for sunlight... still, it's worth a try.
Smaller lower moisture garlic keeps better and is more pungent as a bonus.

I plant my garlic between two rows of asparagus, which are about 5 feet
apart. The garlic grows in the late Fall and Spring and the asparagus grows
in later Spring and Summer, so they aren't competing at the same time. I
use lots of fish emulsion for fertilizer for both.

That, of course, means small garlic (in the case of hardneck, many
heads with only two or three bulbs) because it wil stop growing as
soon as it is shaded (sometimes in june). You have to use short
veggies if you want both crops to happen.
