That’s OK LB M2T got it right for CCB:lol: Yup pointy end down:tup: The variety is commonly know as Oz garlic but I like to think of it as “Sandford Sweet” You can call it what you like CCB. Hope grows well for you. I will be planting ours this weekend as we have had some decent rain and the soil is now nice a moist.

Perhaps that’s why all we seem to see in the supermarket is Chinese garlic….. 😉
Just checking just checking :shy:

Okay, so does that mean that Garlic goes in the ground in May and gets harvested in Spring?? I live somewhere with light frosts now and am feeling confused about when to plant/harvest. Is it basically the same as onions and carrots that like a bit of chill over winter to get good roots growing?
Ta, Amy
You did not say what region which will help give you a correct answer. I live in the hinterland of Caloundra, Sunshine Coast Qld and we also get frost here. Last year when had 3normal frost and one bad black frost.
Here I have been told plant April early May and harvest when the leaves start to die back. I grow mine in a wicking bed which has 30% shade cloth over it, I am hoping this will protect from the frost here.
This is my first year planting garlic and will be interested in seeing how it goes. All the segments I planted have sprouted so so far so good.
Thanks to TT for all. :tup:
