Growing Garlic in an Urban Garden
Growing garlic in an urban garden is easy, but be prepared to wait! I grew garlic for the first time with great success. I chose soft-neck garlic for my warmer climate and bought Early Italian and Italian Late garlic from Seeds of Change. Click photo to watch on YouTube.

Knowing when to harvest is the big question the first time you grow garlic. I tried a couple of times to harvest too early. Check and see what happened!

This is the way it should look when the garlic cloves have formed and it’s time to harvest. Stop watering two weeks before to allow cloves to form.

I planted 1/2 pound of each garlic and harvested five pounds, which seems pretty good. I had near 100% germination.
