Although garlic is typically planted in the fall, we have garlic available for spring planting  to harvest as bulbs or green garlic! Keene’s garlic for spring planting is certified organic and grown in the US. Cold-stratified following harvest, our spring garlic is ready for planting upon arrival. Once removed from the cold, your garlic will want to sprout & grow.

Remove from the box & plant them shortly after receiving.  If you can’t plant right away, store them in a brown paper bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator until planting time.

Basic Spring Garlic Growing Information

• Garlic is hardy and can be planted as soon as the ground is workable in the spring.
• Garlic prefers rich composted & well drained soil. It is a heavy feeder so fertilize accordingly with a well-balanced fertilizer.
• Weed regularly as garlic does not compete well with weeds. Mulch is recommended for keeping the soil moisture level consistent and weeds at bay.
• Mother Nature plays a big part in whether spring planted garlic will bulb up. A cool spring is ideal. Spring garlic can also be harvested as fresh “Green Garlic” to enjoy with all of your early summer vegetables!
