It’s a relief to have this done. I planted half on November 1st and the rest on November 2nd. Approximately 220 cloves. The soil was pretty good, although somewhat wet from the weekend’s rain. I believe the varieties were German Extra Hardy, German Red (smaller), then Music. I don’t think I saved any of the Spanish Roja.
This is the first year I have had enough to save my own seed garlic. Garlic is one of my success stories. But I still felt anxiety planting it, fears that something will cause my garlic crop to fail. It’s the climate crisis, affecting everything, even my trust in the most reliable of crops.
