This Garlic can be grown in mild climates; however, develops better quality and size where winters are cold. Garlic survives bitterly cold winters underground and then grows rapidly when the weather warms in spring; bulbs in summer. Garlic needs fertile soil with lots of organic matter. The soil needs to remain uncompacted through the long growing season. Harvesting them at the right time is very important. Dug too soon, the skins won’t have formed around each clove.
