We love to share what we love... and we love garlic and shallots! You'll find gorgeous seed garlic & shallots listed here every late Summer/early Fall. And don't forget the fertility... our Organic Garlic and Shallot Fertilizer has specially blended diverse amendments to feed both our soil and our alliums, and in turn, us!
Transcript: Friends, I’m so excited, it’s finally time to plant our garlic. And so first things first, you want to take your beautiful heads of garlic and break them down into individual cloves. And if some of the clove wrappers come apart, that’s totally fine. Even if they’re totally naked, that’s totally fine. Leave the wrappers if you can, but the garlic really doesn’t care. If you at all, you don’t want to damage any of that root plate that’s ultimately was attached to the root of the parent plant that is going to be the root of the base plant. So again, you want that fully, fully intact as well.
And when you are taking them apart, if you see there’s some that might have a little bit of discoloration, a little bit of desiccation. Be sure that you remove that and just eat it for dinner. It’s not worth planting it, it might survive, it might be fine, but it might not. And it’s just not worth the risk of taking all this time and all this energy to grow this big beautiful bulb when it may not. So eat it. And yes, there you have it, friends. Stay tuned for how we space and how deeply we plant them.
