How to Grow Your Own Garlic
Soil Preparation
Garlic requires reasonably fertile soil and grows best in a welldrained soil with plenty of organic matter. The pH of a typical vegetable garden, 6.0-7.0, is ideal for garlic. Follow soil test recommendations based on your garden site. If you don’t have soil test results, apply two pounds of a 10% nitrogen fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) per 100 square feet before planting. In the early spring, once the garlic has started to grow, garlic will benefit from additional fertilization with a liquid feed.
Planting
Garlic grows well in cool temperatures. In Northern New England, garlic is most successfully planted in the fall. The ideal planting time ranges from October (for Northern sites) to November (for more Southern sites). As with fall-planted flower bulbs, it is best to allow enough time for the bulbs to start to grow roots but not long enough for the shoots to start to grow before winter. If shoots start to grow in the fall, don’t worry. In most cases, the garlic will survive the winter and emerge unscathed in the spring.

About the Harvest
A team of ten Student Farmers grew the garlic crop. Lead Farmer, Willow Baribeault, returned for the summer season to train and supervise her team of high school student farmers. Willow, now a college student, had previously worked and learned on the farm throughout her highschool career. Now is a great time to plant and grow your very own garlic crop. Try several of our available varieties for a fun and delicious 2025 gardening season!
