Too late to start garlic?

Your welcome.

I broke up the heads into individual cloves to fit the padded envelope better. Plant them ASAP.

Yes plant them ASAP as stated if they are already broken apart.

As far as hardnecks and softnecks doing good here and not there. Most will grow anywhere but may do better than other places. Music is a good all around variety as well as Chesnok Red.

I have been gettin more into the Creole types. Which are said to do great in the deep south. I haven't seen anything on them anywhere but deep south in descriptions etc. Yet I grew them and they did great, oh yeah where did I get them, from a farm in Minnesota, so go figure.

Punkrotten if you still want some more I can send some looking at what I have I can spare some.

Pm me if you are interested. I can hook you up with some tomato seeds etc as well.

I think its really trial and error. I was reading about some hardnecks growing fine in warmer climates but may not do as well as they would in places with cold winters. So its really a gamble with some varieties. You just have to take the gamble and see. I was reading a comment from a guy who lives in a city kind of near me and he posted a year later that a hardneck he grew came out fine. Reading descriptions about hardnecks sound more appealing than softnecks. They say they are more closer to true garlic. I don't think I have ever eaten a hardneck garlic.

Definitely not too late for me. In fact, as long as the ground dries out a little more by this weekend, I'll probably plant mine then. We haven't had a frost here yet, but it's getting close. I just need to figure out exactly where to put it!

I've had the garlic heads (one hardneck variety, one softneck variety) for a few weeks already, but it seems in fine shape.
