Garlic – Regular (Pack of 3)
Grow your own flavorful kitchen staple with Regular Garlic Bulbs. Garlic is one of the easiest and most rewarding crops to grow, producing aromatic cloves that are perfect for cooking, roasting, seasoning, and preserving. These garlic bulbs develop into full heads made up of multiple cloves, each capable of producing a new plant.
Homegrown garlic delivers rich flavor that far surpasses store-bought varieties. The plants are hardy, low maintenance, and ideal for home gardens, raised beds, and even larger containers. Once harvested and properly cured, garlic can be stored for months, providing a steady supply of fresh flavor for your kitchen.

Growing Instructions for Zone 3b
Garlic grows exceptionally well in cold climates and benefits from winter chilling, making it well suited for Zone 3b gardens.
Planting Time
Plant garlic in fall (September–October) before the ground freezes. This allows roots to establish before winter and results in larger bulbs the following summer.
Preparing the Cloves
Location
Choose a location with full sun (6–8 hours daily) and well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.
Planting Depth
Spacing
Mulching
Apply a layer of mulch (straw or leaves) after planting to protect cloves during winter and reduce weed growth.
Watering
Water regularly during spring growth, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilizing
Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong bulb development.
Harvesting
Curing
Allow harvested bulbs to dry in a warm, airy location for 2–3 weeks before storage.
With proper care, garlic will reward gardeners with flavorful, homegrown bulbs that store well and enhance countless dishes.
