I helped my neighbor harvest some of his garlic. Ended up with a box of about 1200 seed garlic. Now where do I put them?

WOW 🤯 🧄🧄🧄🧄

Cure by drying in the shade for a couple weeks. Store in a cool, dry place, with airflow (mesh bag).

I got some other for drying, this is for planting.

I've been planting late October/early November, and harvesting earlyJuly, so I cure to preserve and store until planting time.

Ah, I guess "where do I put them" meant you were musing on where to plant? :)

You put them online is where you put them. Garlic is sold out almost everywhere and expensive when you find it. Depending on the type I suppose. I just bought 4 heads of "Music" for 25 bucks.

Maybe when I harvest this red Russian next year

Around your fruit trees?

Started with an apple tree yesterday. Would you make a ring around it?

I’ve seen drawings of the garlic very tightly packed in a ring. If you want to harvest for bulbs I think that’s too close. I would space them out a bit. If you want to just cut for the greens, or just the scapes maybe a tighter planting.

I have planted a fairly random distribution around a tree in my yard. I can’t report back too much yet as it’s still the first year. But quite a few flopped over, if they are in a dense ring I would imagine it would become quite the mess. 🤷

What a great ‘problem’ to have

Put ‘em everywhere

Haha. That's the plan.
