Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 45°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Plant hardneck garlic cloves in fall when soil is cooling so roots establish before winter, but the tops don’t grow much; mulch heavily for winter protection.
