Hi,
I didn't really plan on growing garlic this year. But I kind of changed my mind. If I decide to do it I want to grow something different.
1. Is it too late?
2. What varieties would you recommend?
Thx

How will this variety do in Southern California, (inland specifically in sunset zone 18. I know sometimes hardnecks may not do so well in this climate, I've planted some regular california early from the farmers market that was grown in this area but would prefer a few different varieties to test out. Thanks

David, Softneck garlics, such as the California Early you have grown, have a greater tolerance for warm springs and summers. You do have cold winters in Sunset zone 18 and if you have a cool spring in 2012 a porcelain hardneck like ‘Music’ should do well. It will depend on the year and on the microclimate on your property. I also suggest you check with your Master Gardeners to see if they have comments on the varieties that do best.
