Features:

• Bulb Details: Expect 12-16 cloves per bulb.

• NON-GMO- grown using traditional farming techniques.

• Inspected & Clean: Each bulb is carefully inspected to ensure it’s free from pests, mites, or diseases, guaranteeing healthy stock for planting or cooking.

• Softneck Garlic: Known for flexible stalks that allow braiding, softnecks store longer (6–12 months), are milder and produce more cloves per bulb than hardneck. They rarely bolt, ensuring consistent bulb growth, and thrive in a wide range of climates (Zones 4–9).

Growing Instructions:

1. Planting Time: For best results, plant cloves in fall, 4-6 weeks before the first frost (around Columbus Day), or in early spring in milder climates.

2. Spacing: Space cloves 4-6 inches apart in rows, with 6-8 inches between rows for optimal growth.

3. Depth: Plant each clove with the pointed end up, buried approximately 2 inches deep in well-drained, compost-enriched soil.

4. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, particularly in colder regions.

5. Harvest: Harvest in early to mid-summer when lower leaves turn brown. Dig carefully, then cure bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated area for 3-4 weeks.
