Inchelium Red Certified Organic – Spring Planting Garlic Bulbs

Description

Organic Garlic Bulbs for Spring Planting! Each garlic clove is a seed to plant that will turn into a bulb at harvest.

These bulbs are for Spring planting and will start shipping in Late February.  Once you receive the bulbs, they will be ready to plant. They may have sprouts and root emergence letting  you know they are ready to be planted.  They have been in cold storage, so they will produce better and larger bulbs for a spring planted bulbs.  If you can’t plant them right away, store them in the fridge. We do recommend that garlic be planted in the fall, but many customers do plant in the spring too with success especially in warmer regions, green garlic, and companion planting.  Spring planting bulbs may be slightly smaller bulbs than fall planted bulbs, but you can achieve a larger size by providing plenty of nutrient rich soil and fertilizer. We recommend purchasing our organic garlic fertilizer to get the garlic off to a good start and get larger size bulbs at harvest.  https://keeneorganics.com/2021/01/how-to-plant-spring-garlic/

Note: Garlic is an agricultural crop that is subject to crop loss due to conditions beyond our control. This can even occur in the curing stage. We check each bulb before shipping them to you, so if there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute. We rarely need to do this, but it does happen. If it is necessary, we will substitute with a similar garlic, but if you have any comments on this please fill out the comment section like a back up garlic or no substitutions. We still want to get you some great garlic, so please choose how you would like us to proceed with your order if the item you ordered is not available. We do set aside some great garlic in case we do have to substitute garlic!
