Garlic Growth and Timeline

Bed Preparation

Growth at 4 weeks

Planting occurs from mid September to the end of October depending on weather. This year we completed planting by mid October.  Cloves planted 1-2 inches below the surface.

Growth at 4 weeks

Growth at 4 weeks

   This  is a picture of a clove at 4 weeks after  planting - around the middle of November.  The root system was well  established in the first 4 weeks with roots up to 3-4 inches in length. 

Growth at 6 weeks

 We continue to see a large increase in growth compared to 4 weeks, with  the root systems developed up to 4-5 inches.  Note the green shoot that  somehow knows to stay underground until spring approaches. 

Growth at 6 months

 At six months from planting, this Russian Red is developing nicely and  has already reached a height of about 6 inches.  Note the slight  yellowing on the tips.  Our soil was tested low in nitrogen and we added  an organic fish fertilizer (5-0-0) shortly after this picture was  taken. Note the next photo that shows the result of improving the  nitrogen level.

 If the conditions are right, garlic can grow over half an inch per day.   This plant is almost three times the size the one in the previous photo  after 10 days of sunny warm April weather.
