The blog consultant guy suggested a few changes. I think his best tip was that I ditch clever titles like ‘Vanquish your Vampires’, and stick to something people might actually search for. So I might go back and change some titles. You may notice other changes as well.
One thing that won’t change is my firm belief that all posts must have at least one beautiful picture.
Just looking at the monarch butterfly on the porter weed flower makes me smile.
Anyway, back to garlic, I planted mine last week because this is the perfect time to plant garlic in North Alabama. You probably still have time, but if you live in zone 7, hurry up. The first thing I did was get out what we hadn’t eaten from the June harvest. 
Then I separated the bulbs into cloves and sorted them by size. I only planted the very largest cloves and saved the rest for cooking. This is my third year growing this garlic called ‘Early Italian’, and the bulbs I harvest get bigger each year. You should have seen how puny they were the first year. That’s how garlic is; it takes a while to get used to you and settle in, so you should save some cloves as seed for next year. 
I hoed some cow manure and organic fertilizer into one of the raised beds. Most sources say to make a 3 inch deep trench to plant in, but I just wiggled them into the loose soil about 6 inches apart with the pointy end up. Then I mulched them with about an inch of soil conditioner and watered them in. Done. Easy-Peasy.
But which route is best? Hair loss can seriously carry one down and deeprootsmag.org buying sildenafil reduce one’s self esteem. The kids can make their own bird from getting viagra in canada willow wood. Be regular for some habits- It is better to choose any FDA-approved medicine like order cialis online kamagra. Small sores or breaks browse this buy viagra pill in the skin may become deeper skin sores or ulcers.
My brother-in-law buys garlic at the grocery store and has good luck planting it, but most grocery store garlic is treated with something to inhibit growth, and you’re better off buying seed garlic. I suggest you purchase your seed from Territorial Seed. Hurry because they’re sold out of most of the garlic, and it’s time for planting anyway. Territorial Seed is my favorite because they are sending me free garlic seed. The nice lady told me that softneck garlic is better for the South, and they’re sending ‘Chinese Pink’ and ‘Susanville’. She threw in one hardneck ‘Duganski’ just for grins.
I’m conducting a little garlic experiment. I’ve always planted them dry, but this year I soaked about half my cloves in de-chlorinated water for two hours. In spring you can read ‘How to Harvest Garlic’ to see how the experiment turns out and how the new varieties perform.
Note to reader: I was just watering the bed of garlic. Don’t get too excited about this experiment. It may be in trouble already. Apparently one of the dogs doesn’t know a damn thing about scientific procedures. – It was probably Layla. – The idiot walked around the bed in a random pattern that may hinder the cloves planted wet and jeopardize the validity of the experiment. Stupid dog! 
I planted garlic last fall at my mother’s house but didn’t harvest it. I guess it is too late now?
It’s not too late to plant now. Last year I was a little late myself. It might even have been the beginning of November before I got them in, and they did fine, but Harvey Cotton at Huntsville Botanical Gardens lists planting garlic under the second week in October.
Oh, I meant is it too late to harvest the garlic planted last fall? It looks like it has faded flower heads but I haven’t pulled any up out of the ground.
I don’t know. In early summer the foliage on mine always turns yellow and looks like it’s dying, and then I pull it out. I was curious about your question and poked around the internet a bit. I think you better harvest it soon or it might start growing again. If they have already started growing, you might want to separate and replant the individual cloves for a harvest next summer. But if they are still dormant and didn’t rot from all the rain we had this year, you should still be able to harvest. Let me know how it turns out.
I have one correction to add to your article. Do not say slanderous things about Layla.
She is a good dog!!!!
She’s a bitch, but I do love her.
