Did you know that garlic planting season is right around the corner? 🌱🧄 If you’re in zone 7, mid-October to November is the perfect time to start planting. We recommend aiming for about two weeks after your average first frost date, which for us is around October 31st.

Garlic thrives when planted as temperatures drop, and you can continue planting as long as the ground hasn’t frozen. Whether you prefer softneck or hardneck varieties, garlic is a simple, rewarding crop to grow. Just make sure to give each clove enough space to stretch out—about 6-8 inches apart is ideal for happy, healthy garlic!

Want to learn more about growing garlic and other fall crops? Check out our newest blog post, Planting Garlic in Zone 7, https://www.stranges.com/planting-garlic/ 🧄

Our complete guide to planting garlic in Zone 7! Discover the best planting times, techniques, and tips for growing delicious, homegrown garlic this fall.
