Planting Garlic In October

Well finally got out and turned the soil over in a spent string bean bed to prepare for planting some garlic. I recently bought some beautiful stif neck garlic grown locally in Shelton from Guy Beardsley.








I scattered a small amount of 10 10 10 over the soil and raked it in. Then I made three furrows about 3-4" deep. The garlic was placed about 6" apart with rows about the same, 6 inches. The base of the garlic sits about 3" down.
