GOURMET GARLIC BULBS TO PLANT AND EAT
@keenegarlic
Question of the Week: My garlic sprouted this fall. What should I do? 🌱
This is quite common due to the unpredictability of fall weather, as garlic tends to sprout when temperatures are too warm. However, if your garlic sprouts after planting, there`s no need to be concerned.
Depending on your climate, the green shoots will either die back and regrow in the spring or stay dormant and green through the winter, resuming growth as temperatures rise. Our goal in the fall is to establish strong roots. While seeing green growth is not ideal, if it does occur, you can still expect a successful harvest in the summer.
Here are a couple of recommendations:
1) Provide extra protection for your garlic by applying an additional layer of mulch over the green sprouts.
2) When spring arrives, stay on top of weeding, fertilizing, and watering to further ensure the development of big bulbs.

It`s time to tuck your garlic in for winter! 💤
As winter approaches, it`s time to give your garlic the cozy bed it deserves! Mulching acts as a warm blanket, protecting your garlic from the chill and frost. It prevents those heaving cycles that could disturb your cloves, plus, it keeps the soil moist, fights off weeds, and nurtures healthy growth.
How-To:
1) Choose Your Mulch: Whether it`s clean straw, chopped leaves, grass clippings, or wood chips – pick what`s available and abundant.
2) Apply Generously: Lay down your chosen mulch, making sure it`s 3-6 inches deep.
3) Spring Check-In: As the snow melts, peek beneath the mulch to see those green shoots peeking through. If needed, gently help them find their way.
So, grab your mulch and start tucking in that garlic. Your garden will thank you later! ❤

Did you know that hardneck garlic has a limited storage life? 🍂
Most of our hardneck garlic is now around 4 months old and reaching the end of its natural lifespan. If you haven`t planted your garlic yet, we can no longer guarantee its quality, as it`s starting to naturally deteriorate.
Moving forward, we won`t be able to issue refunds for this year`s harvest. Garlic naturally deteriorates over time, and it`s important to either plant it or consume it now. Beyond the 4-month mark, garlic begins to dehydrate, shrivel, and turn brown, indicating a decline in its peak quality. This doesn`t mean the garlic is bad or diseased; like all produce, it undergoes natural breakdown processes. If you`re consuming fresh, wholesome foods, it should naturally rot!
Your own homegrown garlic may last longer, especially if it hasn`t been shipped, which can shorten its storage life. By storing it properly, you can extend its freshness. For tips on maximizing the storage life of your garlic, please refer to the "storing garlic" link in our bio. 👍

Happy Halloween! 🎃
Have you ever considered carving garlic instead of pumpkins? Maybe we will give it a try 🤔
Question of the Week: Is it too late to plant?
For most of us, it is not too late to plant! We have even planted garlic into frozen soil and it still grows. 🌱
However, it’s best to get your garlic planted as soon as possible so it has time to develop roots. Garlic also needs the cold of winter, so it needs to be planted in the fall for the best harvest next summer. 🧄
We still have some wonderful garlic available, and we are shipping all orders immediately (link in bio).
P.S. Thank you to Kara @thelittlemissiongarden for the gorgeous planting photos! ❤️
