A bit on the late side… yet should still be just fine except for the chilly planting conditions.

Garlic planting season starts ..

and finishes today.

We’ve planted garlic in December once before, crop turned out solid.  It’s a bit late, yet the window before Thanksgiving didn’t materialize and last week the ground was frozen a bit too much for tillage.

4 beds in the ground for July 2025 harvests. Here’s a photo when we were half way through at the lunch hour.  Feel like we’ve hardly been working the last few weeks with multiple data off, light harvests and clean up underway.

Already starting to order the necessities for our 2025 season, taking advantage of pre-orders and end of year discounts from suppliers.  

Bookkeeping backlog is a bit longer than usual this season, will require a couple of days before the holidays to get caught up, in case we need to make any decisions before the close of the fiscal year.

Growing veggies for the fine folks of Southeastern Massachusetts, w/ a focus on nutrient quality. Always interested in the evolution of digital payments.  🎩

I haven’t planted garlic before

Most households and farmers here plant cassavas, maize, cocoa, palm mostly over here

How is garlic planted?

Ohhh, that’s pretty easy then, wonder why i don’t see them much here, it’s done mostly in the northern parts of my country though, i’m in the south.

I’m based in Nigeria

Where are you based?

Garlic is planted as individual cloves that will then form full bulbs the following season.

Pretty straightforward, we just use trowels to help get them at the right depth.

Many growers will mulch the garlic, we typically don’t - just allow the roots to establish and keep it secure for the winter.
